More progress on the m416. Added the metal brake lines and LED lights and wiring. Still need to install a new rubber brake hose and bleed out the brakes. I’ll have to check the bearings too. I kinda like how the m101a3 jack turned out.

Made some progress on the goofy looking m416. Nothing special up close but it’s green. I just want to get something done completely, even if it’s the easiest project.

I’m working on changing over an m416 jeep trailer to m416a1 specs lately. Since the surge brake is similar to the one on the m101a2 and a3 I figured it’d be different to install a crank up landing leg like on the m101a3 so I modified one to fit. On the left is an stock m101 series leg, in the...

I like it. I'll need to lift the box back off sometime to clean up and paint the frame, maybe I'll swap the landing leg out for the crank up version too.

Started taking apart a couple trailers today. One is an m101a1 with a very nice newer style cargo box and the other an m116a2 with the heavier duty frame. The cargo box is going on the a2 frame of course, should end up being a pretty decent m101a2.

They're a little bit different.

No one knows for sure, there have been quite a few threads over the years discussing them. The earliest trailers didn't have them.

I see two trailers involved. There is an m101a3 on HMMWV tires posted above, and computer posted a picture of his stock m105 on deuce wheels and tires. Bolster trailer wheels are much different in offset than the dually wheels from an m35. The offset is the same as the tubeless wheels found...

Another thing to remember is that while bolster wheels can be used to lower the trailer down they'll stick out at least a few inches on each side, so you'll probably want to add some fenders depending on your local laws. They are just right on the m103a3 welding trailers, as well as the m105a3s...
