    New to this M101A1 Trailer

    The left lugnuts are left hand threads. you need to rotate them clockwise to loosen them.

    How to remove the pintle hitch on M105A1??

    What he said:ditto:. When I flipped mine on my M101, I had the whole assembly in a vise, and just heated the housing, and then hit the outside with a hammer a few times. It came right out, and I coated it liberally with anti-sieze once it cooled.

    M105 gates / bows on m1013?

    I just did it. You will need the M101 stakes. Then, if the M105 sides are fiberglass, like mine were, you will need to grind off the back of the rivets that hold the boards on.

    I was going to buy from him when I got my sf-97 back, if I ever do. It's a shame that he no longer is in business.

    M101A2 Project: Camp Trailer

    No clue. the only thing I can come up with off the top of my head, is to use windshield urethane, which would look terrible.

    M35 Deuce Bed Trailer ( Future Camper)

    Would you be interested in fiberglass side racks for that trailer? I will be close to you on Wednesday when I pick up the lot that I won, and I don't need the deuce racks.

    Are these deuce racks?

    Thank you for the quick reply. On the M105 racks, are the brackets for storing the bows the same as the M101? I really need those more than new racks. Since they are for a M105, I will just use the fiberglass to replace the wood on my M101.

    Are these deuce racks?

    I just won an auction on GL, which has 8 racks in it. I only want the ones on the bottom, because they look like they will either fit my M101, or can be used to fix the wooden racks on my M101. I think the two on the top might be for a Deuce, but I can't tell for sure. I will be picking these up...

    Is this a M101, or a M101A1?

    The frame is M101, and the body is M101A1. The data plate lists it as a 62, but the vin info came back as a 68, and the contract number is from 67, so I have one heck of a conglomeration here. I already lengthened the tailgate chains. I just cut them off with a grinder, and welded new chains...

    Alaskan Camper M101a2 Trailer Project Build

    You were right in my neck of the woods. When you came off the 12, and onto the 24, you were only 20 minutes, or so from me. I might do the same thing with one of those campers.

    2013 VIN INFO Thread

    Thank you for the information. The data plate only has the serial number, year mfrd, and delivery date stamped. case master body inc, and the contract number have both been etched by hand, so something strange is going on. I will contact GL, and get them to correct the year to 68, so that the...

    2013 VIN INFO Thread

    Thank you very much. I will make a donation when I get a chance. I see that your info states that it was made in 68, but my id plate says 62. Will that affect the sf-97? I already filled it out with the info on the data plate.
