xm105-e3

I looked at the data plate on what I thought was my m105 trailer. It was marked xm105-e3. It was made by Checker in 1953. Is there a difference between them? Or is this just a earlier version of the m105?

The designation xm105e3 should have changed to m105a3 when or if it was fully adopted.

No worries, just an early version. There were alot of those made by Checker Cab in 53, I've had a few.

I have a XM105e3 made by Fruehauf trailer co. dated 6-53 its just a early version of the m105 tralier

Just bought a 1954 xm105-e3 made by checker cab co. and the only difference I see between it and a regular m105-a2 is the landing gear (single wheel) and mine don't have a crank handle for hight adjustability.

gungearz, some of the main differences between the XM and regular a2 some have the park brake handles changed to a newer style, the body may or may not have the lifting eyes on the side where the xm did not, the landing legs changed to the adjustable kind but all in all the same trailer. IM sure there are more little differences but thats the ones I could think of

The wheel hubs seem to be different as well. My newer trailer's hubs are recessed behind the face of the rim where as the 53 checkers hubs protrude through the front of the rim.
