M105 Value

[AOR]

What is the current market value of an M105A1 in decent condition? I have sold several of these years ago and I think the most I was able to get for one complete with top and bows with a spare tire and wheel was 600.00 I see them advertised now for much more and wondering if people actually can get more than 1000 for these if they were complete in excellent condition. They have always been a hard model to sell for me.

Brakes, height and ring limit their (A1 and A2) usefulness. Might bring more for the parts if you're patient. The A3 with surge has solved one issue, brakes, and the height is not quite as bad. I have the Isuzu 19.5 duals that lowers to 30" and just stays under the 8'6". My last purchase was at $450 3 years ago complete. Springs were like new (and fit the front of a deuce or bob).

Only a fool converts the lunette to a ball coupler.

I have an M105A3 I like it and plan to keep it. I pull it with a Ram 2500 without any issues.

I'm quite happy with my 1101 welding trailer mod. And the rig was repurposed too.

I've seen several ball coupling failures in my short lifetime. All were expensive, glad they weren't mine.

Never have I seen a pintle/lunette fail.
