There is no metal plate on mine, might have been removed. Also, as far as the spare tire, it might be one of those things that the manual says is included, but in the real world isn't. Doesn't matter really, I don't have any spare wheels/tires to put on this anyways.
Thanks for the info...
I got this comment a lot, but always it is a woman saying it. :D Just kidding....
Anyways, yeah, I know they are out there, I have a M200 manual on this end that mentions the super singles. This is just the only one I have seen get surplussed out, all the other genset trailers I have seen...
Picked this up from dm22630 last winter, had plans to put a genset on it, but I sold the genset by itself. Anyways, this is an M200A1, that has been singled out with 22.5" truck tires by the military, similar fashion as the newer M105A3 trailers have done with them. I haven't seen another M200...
Worst case scenario, if you can't find a used fuel tank, drain the tank, let it air out REAL WELL for about a week in a dry, warm environment, and then do the metal repair yourself.

The local building thrift store has gallons of wood stain in various shades for 50 cents to $1 a gallon. I know wood stain and other wood prep products are flammable, I was wondering, besides the obvious staining of the fuel filters, is there anything against using wood stain as a fuel in the...
Bruce, I met with Pete, John was there but he was busy. Pete gave me the golf cart tour of the whole property and showed me everything there. BTW - he said "tell Bruce to come pick up his two dump trucks that are taking up space". :)
Picked up some LMTV parts for the next project once it...
I ran a red light once, years ago, I was on the road without sleep for a LONG time and I wasn't aware of what I was doing until I was in the middle of the intersection. I "awoke" horrified and scared to death until I made it through the junction, luckily there was no cross-traffic that day and...
