How closely do tire & tube sizes have to match? Can you use tubes for 35" tires in a 31" tire, for example? Sorry if this is too dumb, I know nothing about working with tube-type tires. Thanks,

Has anyone done a spring under conversion on an M101A1 or similar? It looks like it would be pretty easy to do to lower ride height, just want to see an example if anyone has one. A second request would be an M101 with civi tires. Thanks.

I've seen trailer springs mentioned in a couple other threads, and I have a further question. These trailers (like my M101A1) are pretty ruggedly built. The 3/4 ton trailer can easily manage over a ton, particularly on-road (it's actually rated for a ton on-road, IIRC), and they are pretty...

I've just spent an hour searching for an old thread that showed radial street tires on a trailer, M101 I think, on the Budd rums. I know it was there. Could it have been lost when the change was made to the new format? I really, really exhausted the search function using what I remember of it...

M101A1 trailer, looking to take the body off. If I'm looking at this correctly, I loosen the nuts, and slide them over to the wide opening to remove. But they don't seem to be working that way. Am I mistaken? Any suggestions? By the way, I'd also like to add a rear fold-down support leg to my...

I see these ammo trailers come up for auction now & then. I would never want one, they're so heavy. But I wonder, what would a person do in the civiian world with one of these trailers?

Has anybody modded an older M101 trailer with a newer hub? I was thinking about putting on a hub, maybe from a civvy pickup truck or something like that. Will that work with the existing axle? What kind of fab work would that take? TIA

Didn't find an answer to this, and the TM in the resources section is for A2 and newer. Does anybody have a TM for the M101A1 and earlier? Thanks.

Can anyone who has a real cover for an M101 trailer give me dimensions? I'm thinking about having my wife make me one. GMA has kits available for a couple hundred bucks, but that's a bit pricey for me.

I'm thinking about what to do with the lights on my M101 trailer. I want it to be a functional work trailer, without hacking or losing too much of the military accessories. My trailer has the older light fixtures, with the smaller main red light in back. I've thought about keeping these...

I banged the lunette eye out of the drawbar. Should there be lubrication on the shaft of the lunette to keep it clean, rust-free, and non-binding? What should be used? I couldn't find anything about this in the M101a2 manual. Thanks, B

http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=1299374&convertTo=USD I know these things aren't as common as the m101s & m105s, so if anybody's looking, here it is. I'd love to have one, but it needs too much work for me. I have my hands full with my M101a1. By the way, MD Pax River is...

GL has a BUNCH of M105s coming up at the Chambersburg PA location. FYI. Also Ft. Dix, also Lejuene. Chambersburg also has a bunch of M332s and a few M101s. Seems like with this quantity coming available, they ought to go for reasonable prices. Chambersburg is fairly close to me, and I might be...

Here's another problem I'm running into with my M101a1: the front top bow, left side is STUCK. I can't pound it out, it doesn't budge. I tried bracing up a bottle jack under it and jacking it out - that worked on the right side just fine, but no go on the left. Screws through the wood & metal...

What do y'all recommend for tools to disassemble/repair my M101a1, particularly the lug nuts? I'm just getting started with this, and there's a lot of frozen nuts/screws/joints on this old trailer. Thanks, Brian

Newbie, here. Is the lunette eye on my M101A1 supposed to be able to swivel around in the casting? Mine doesn't.

Does anyone know what the amount of wheel travel is on an M101:A1 trailer? I'm thinking of doing a spring-under conversion to make the trailer a little more street-friendly.

I just bought a M101A1 in pretty good shape from GL and got it home safe. How can I get a title and register it? I'm in PA.
