I had a chance to buy an m101 for $700 but passed. It was in great shape, very little rust. It just seemed HUGE. It was set up with air brakes and just seemed too big.

Do you get it like this and just cut off the air brake mechanism on the tongue and cut off all the unnecessary metal, grind it smooth, and paint?

Seemed daunting.

It had the original military axle/tires and the leaf packs that looked like they should hold a deuce and a half rather than a trailer.

 

Mine was a M101a1 so the only brakes was the hand brake. I changed the axle which eliminated the drums. Trying to cut down the wight as much as I can.

 

I have seen two of these trailers at an Auction lot in Shelby, NC for the last 3-4 weeks. I will get the phone number and post here next week. They looked in good shape driving by from the interstate and both had the tops.

 

I went with the smaller M100.

I've been very happy with the pintle.

 

Very nice conversion!

 

These two trailer have been on the lot for over a month, if that mean anything to you auction guys/gals. They are located in Shelby, NC. Hope they find a good home.

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

Very cool. I have got to get one of these. Where is the best place to find one? I assume I just need to hunt around.

 

Craig's List is a good place. Found my M101a1 in NH. It's on the larger side but wanted to fit ATV and other toys.

 

Ya, the smaller trailers are cool but I need a much larger cargo area for everything I need to carry. Hoping to go camping soon!!!
