What he said:ditto:. When I flipped mine on my M101, I had the whole assembly in a vise, and just heated the housing, and then hit the outside with a hammer a few times. It came right out, and I coated it liberally with anti-sieze once it cooled.
I just did it. You will need the M101 stakes. Then, if the M105 sides are fiberglass, like mine were, you will need to grind off the back of the rivets that hold the boards on.
Would you be interested in fiberglass side racks for that trailer? I will be close to you on Wednesday when I pick up the lot that I won, and I don't need the deuce racks.
Thank you for the quick reply.
On the M105 racks, are the brackets for storing the bows the same as the M101? I really need those more than new racks. Since they are for a M105, I will just use the fiberglass to replace the wood on my M101.
I just won an auction on GL, which has 8 racks in it. I only want the ones on the bottom, because they look like they will either fit my M101, or can be used to fix the wooden racks on my M101. I think the two on the top might be for a Deuce, but I can't tell for sure. I will be picking these up...

I might do the same thing with one of those campers.
Thank you for the information. The data plate only has the serial number, year mfrd, and delivery date stamped. case master body inc, and the contract number have both been etched by hand, so something strange is going on. I will contact GL, and get them to correct the year to 68, so that the...
Thank you very much. I will make a donation when I get a chance.
I see that your info states that it was made in 68, but my id plate says 62. Will that affect the sf-97? I already filled it out with the info on the data plate.
Hopefully you can shed some light on this one. It is a M101, with a M101A1 data plate.
