Finally installed new set of tires.
They Were way past due.
Been gone flying a lot lately and haven’t had time until today
Was planning on Michelin’s, but decided on Coopers All Terrain.
For what I use truck for, these will be fine.
Stock size and E rated.
Made in USA
Rides and handles...
That is a commercial trailer. I’ve seen a few around here.
No clue on details.
Unless you have to have it, stay away from tilts for any equipment.
Problems with tongue have been mentioned and depending on equipment type, loading is a nightmare unless it’s a small track vehicle (skid steer)...

Spicer does not make one that will fit.

I know this is an old thread but at least the question will be somewhat answered.
All of the missing parts are still available commercially.
Croft Trailer has the factory surge brake parts.
Dexter and Redline will have the axle parts and springs, brake shoes, etc.
Dexter will build you a...
I hooked up my tan M101A2 and moved it about 400 feet.
It’s full with a set of HMMWV wheels/tires that I’m trying to sell and needed it out from under trees.
Haven’t used it much lately.
Will be painting the tan one once the temps cool down a bit.
Brand new ones are impossible to find so do what you can to free it up.
