If it had fuel can holders, it most likely held a generator. One of mine had two holders and holes in the bed that lined up with the mounting holes on an MEP002A. No tool box though.

I have one M101A1 that was converted to a generator/light trailer. It had the gerry can mounts on the fenders, a hole in the bed for the fuel line, and a M37 style gas tank mounted under the bed. It also had racks mounted for the light poles...

Most of my cargo M101/M101A1's have been lacking in extra holes... A few have had one drilled in each corner to help drain water, and a few have evidence of having a spare tire mount bolted to the outside of the front bed wall. Sadly, none of them has come with any spare stuff mounted to them, but I have had some with loose gear tossed in (one Craigslist find came with a wiffle tree and some chains...).

My M116 genset trailer came with the gerry can mounts, pole brackets, tarp clips, and the tool box (loaded) along with the tarp... and the generator... :)

I picked up a 101A2 today that had a spare tire mount, mounted in the bed at the front of the trailer. All of my other 101's came empty.

lindyp38, what you have is an M116A2. That set up appears to be for a communications generator. There probably was four hexagonal clamps bloted to the bed to hold antenna mast sections. Mine is set up exactly like yours. The grommeted hole is for the generator's oil drain tube. I have since stripped the clamps and the cable reel holder off. I'll post photos of mine when I got it. I also have an M101A2 that was set up for a generator.

Heres a couple. I'll post more when I find them.
The A-frame looking deal on the front held a power cable reel from what i've been told.

3rd M101 had a spare tire, A gum wrapper. A few water bottles, and one hole in the middle of the floor.

Ah, I forgot about the bees. My last recovery (with the flip) was complicated by a couple busy wasp nests in the racks I had to remove. I thought I lost them on the 2+ hour drive home, but just noticed them still there and killed them a few days ago.

I try not to kill them if the hive is active. I will put on a pair of leather gloves and a stick and try to move it. If the hive is abandoned I will just normally throw it on the ground. They are resistant little insects.

Wasps are a given. If you didn't get them with your MV then GL or GSA owes you! I'm allergic to bee/hornet/wasp stings. They've sent me to the hospital several times. I carry an Eppi-Pen and a can of wasp/hornet spray. The little bast*rds are the first to go!
