@Baloo Not to pick at nits here but looking for advice on LMTVs might get more help if it were not in a 9 year old New Member post.
But I could be wrong.
Well, if your picture is correct then 8-lug wheels won't fit you 5-lug hubs. You answer is now, you can't just swap wheels. You could get a new axle from eTrailer and massage it under there.
About the tongue, here is a pic of my M1102 I just got last month. Obviously my other pintle is still...
I sold one to a coworker for hauling firewood and he has loaded it so full the rubber bumpers underneath touched the frame. BTW i'm guessing it was well over 3klbs.
M101A2 has a General Motors 8-bolt pattern. The A1 has the M37 5-bolt.
Easier to get spares for the A2. I just went to a junkyard up the stree and got a wheel and tire for mine. Like $35.
It looks like you have an M101A1. No surge brake is a big clue along with the weight on the data plate. I'd like to see a pic of the wheel showing the lug pattern.
Maybe, who knows what crazy stuff an engineer would come up with. Pumping Nitrogen into it after filling with something liquid would help on unloading it as well as the aformentioned dual bladders.

That I downloaded from the manual section on this site.
The zipper boot on a Deuce is not the same thing as the rubber sealing the rod end on the drag link assembly. It may feel like it should be replaceable and maybe it is but I wouldn't count on...
Having a backhoe and seeing what happens when stuff is in the air and a line blows I would think there would be at least two maintenance support devices, one for each side, each capable of supporting the camper by itself. No way I'm getting under anything like that without something.
If you have an Interstate battery close by go there and pick up 2 of their special batteries they get from dealers that didn't sell them in time. Or you can get a couple of blemish batteries. You do not need 6TL Armalite as that is incredible overkill.
Make sure the starter is the correct...
Looks like a keeper. Get the manuals and make sure the wiring of the batteires is correct and like Mullaney said, check for correct starter. A Deuce is pretty simple to start. Pretty easy to change engines too but I recommend doing the other stuff first.
