M100 'barn find' picked up Saturday

[mtn man]

I haven't posted in a long time but still keep some OD iron up and running... I was out Saturday for a farm auction and picked up a m100 trailer (first one I've ever had) and was shocked how complete it is, NDT's, brake works, wiring, lights, stand all good. Data plate shows its a m100 but I noticed it has some updates like the 24v plug like bigger trailers.

Thankfully it wasn't ever chopped up for farm use. I've owned a few trailers over the years but most had been 'changed' and the older the more modified they were. (double for farm use, seen a many fuel and water tanks on 101's and 105's) This one still had the nato plug and lunette eye so I towed it home with the cucv, although I have to admit, you couldn't see it at all in rear view mirror... these things are tiny. Bringing it home is like a kid bringing home a new puppy... 'really another one?' All I can say in reply is 'yeah, but this one's different'.

Wow that is how you want to find them. Looks like you got it in time before the rust got worse. Hopefully you can get it blasted and some new paint soon.

Nice find! And with Marine markings.

My bride usually drives an M1009 with the M416 behind it to events. She named the 416 "Stalker" - she says "You can't see it, but you know its back there following you".

Cheers

Considering what the Jeep fanatics pay for these trailers, I would be happy too!!

Good Score
