    just took in a m101a1

    Several guys have used strong magnet stud mounts to mount the tag on tailgate. It stays put without drilling holes and can be removed for parades/car shows or before heavy work to prevent damage. Trailer Tags aren’t required in Oklahoma unless for commercial use so I don’t have experience in...

    New Owner

    Congratulations! Not sure about new hubs, but You can install another axle with the hub bolt pattern you want. Dexter makes one and several guys have done it with great success. It all depends on what you want to spend. The M101A1 is a great trailer, but You would have been better off...

    M1009 FUEL PRESSURE

    I assume your mechanical fuel pump is working? If it’s original to the truck or you haven’t replaced it since you’ve owned it that might be the issue. Their a total pain to change but inexpensive.

    Rigging Kit

    Basic paragraphs and readability are always appreciated. Your post was like one continuous sentence and very difficult to read and follow due to lack of capitalization and paragraphs Please be more aware of this for any other posts. It’s also one of the rules. Thanks

    Gaz-704 Trailer Recovery

    Rent a trailer. The dolly idea would be fine for short hauls, but will bring attention from the State Police DOT officers Would be a LOT safer than a dolly. You would be money ahead in the long run just buying a new trailer to haul your new old trailer. UHaul isn’t cheap.

    Nice score. It’s old but looks to be in good shape except for the wood. Is there a Data plate on the front frame? Can’t tell in the pics It will show model and make & year of manufacture. I see the data plate on the front of the bed. That will/should also show that info also. Post a picture as...

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    The two I received are not official “government contract” models per say. As mentioned above, they were trial extras that were painted different for other customers. Green one is slightly different color than official 383 green and the brown/primer one was a trial for someone else. Brown one is...

He told me these were laying around shop and they didn’t want to bother painting them. They do come with all new hardware! That was a nice surprise. The primer/brownish lever looks to...
