I recently purchased what was advertised as an M101A2 trailer. The picture matches the description with the surge brakes and 8 lug wheels. However, the data plate shows it as an M101A1 and gives the date of manufacture as 1968. My understanding is the M101A1 does not have the surge brakes and has 6 lug wheels. I could possibly see them adding a surge brake, but upgrade the axle? Not sure.
Don't get me wrong, I love that it's a 1968, but what gives?
