I just made brake lines yesterday for my M101A3 trailer. Got everything at a county parts store and came to about $60. Now I have the tools for future use. I only had to replace the upper line and this included an 18 inch flexible line so i can pivot (dump). Had to get the flare tool since...
Never got a response from the emails i sent. DO they must not carry that type of replacement part.

I would like to use the trailer as a dump trailer but expect to only use for this maybe 5...
too pretty to pass up

Just picked up my (what I thought were) two M101A2 trailers. Both were in great shape.
One (larger) was listed as a Kasel M101A2 but also has a M101A3 tag.
The other is a smaller M101A2 that does not have a surge brake but also looks like it was not used very much. The smaller one does not...
