Also, I replaced the stock caster, which had lost a lot of its bearings. It was bolted to the bottom of a flat foot. I’m not sure if this is normal for an 1101?? I put it in the chop saw and cut the foot off, and ordered a caster from etrailer that went over the tube. Just drill a hole in the...

I did a very similar change on my 1101. Took two 1/4” plates, about 12” wide I believe and bolted them through the existing holes and using the original bolts to secure them, then welded the plates to a 2.5” (3”+ in width) receiver hitch. To the bottom of the tongue. I have not yet yet removed...

No, it has two bolts that hold it sturdy inside the channel. They are rated for 12,000 lbs. pulling and a 1200 lb tongue weight. similar models are rated for up to 30k lbs I believe. I’d have to double check that 30k number but I think it’s accurate. Is that the area of concern? Both the...

Ha! That’s interesting. I’ll need to look at my others. I got all 4 out of RRAD. I painted one so I have no idea what unit unless I look at the paperwork and photos. Beautiful calm 30 degree NW Texas spring morning. Turkeys gobbling. Coyotes howling. Work happening.

Your garage/barn/shipping crates must look like mine. “When did I buy that?” Its like Christmas every day!

I dont know what im going to do with it. I have a 101 that may need a jack leg. Let’s PM.

Yeah, incredible the difference. Well, I guess look at the springs for one. The 101 has a 1” thick stack of springs. The 105 ... Its been a while since I have seen one, but I know they must out weight the springs on the 101 by 5 times. My 101 shed about 65 lbs off the tongue today. Jeez! That...
