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.
