I bought a cover for my M101A1 and put it on today. Somethings not quite right.

Bought a 101 cover. Well, maybe not.

So I thought maybe the M116 Gen Trailer (since it was so long on the sides). Nope. I'd try it on the M105 but I don't have any bows. Good thing I have lots of trailers with no covers.

That is a M101 MC Hammer Rapper cover, baggy pants and all. Looks like a 105 cover..

For now it's a generator cover. I'm not planning on towing the genset anywhere in the near future so the extra length is no big deal. The b*tch part is it hit 80 today and I'm inside 2 different trailers trying to put this tarp on by myself. Luckily the 116 is parked right behind the 101 so it was a bit easier.

Is that an M103 cover? Because if so Maccus is looking for one.

I'll measure it and post. I think atankersdad is probably right about it being for a 105.
*****
Okay these are all approx. It would have been easier measuring it while it was on the ground but I don't feel like taking it off at the moment
Front top corner seam to seam approx 68"
Side Front to Rear 109"
Side Top to Bottom 48"
I couldn't find a tag or NSN anywhere on it.

Are you speaking of the tie-down strap, about center of the cover?

The strap with the snaps in the red circle in this pic.
My M105 covers have these on the inside (I think the cover in the pic is on that trailer inside out) My M101 covers do not have these straps. They snap around the the verticle board that sits right above the wheel well on a M105

A generator cover will have cutouts to match the fender profile, looks like a cargo cover.

I need a m105 cover. Are you going to sell it.

Yes the cover was on inside out. I was so concerned about the length that I didn't pay attention to where the buckles were. Here's a picture with it on the correct way and also a close up of the snaps that KsM715 was talking about (now on the inside). I also remeasured the side wall length using a cloth tape vs a metal tape measure - 124". I'm fairly confident that it is from a 105 but obviously I'm not an expert (or pretending to be one).
I've had several people say they're interested in buying it but this is not something I'm willing to ship so unless you're local it's too expensive. If you are local or have someone that can swing by and pick it up PM me and I'll let it go for exactly what I paid for it.

From leaving it out in the rain. That's why I needed a cover.
