    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Yes radial tube and new flaps. I did find this referenced in the manual but did not see anything about recommended pressure. I guess my main concern is making sure there is enough pressure to keep the ring locked...

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    What pressure was recommended on these rims? I pumped the tire up to 30 psi yesterday in 5 psi increments hitting the ring each time.

    Well that moment when you realize your rust hole originated from the valve stem hole. Not pretty but should be good for now.

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    I got my rims painted and watched a couple videos about mounting the tires on these rims. Guy was doing what he said was a Winabega rim that looks like these bud wheels. He mentions a flap. Are these supposed to have a flap?

    I have the tub mounted and sent the lights to a machinist friend to fix the broken bolt issue. Also picked up the extra rims I took to get blasted. Can read some of the stamped markings. .

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Cleaned and painted the 4 tabs I had removed from the donor trailer and mounted them. Started working on the lights. I know this is 24v. So can I put 12v bulbs in it or will I need to ditch these and go to regular trailer lights? Also what all is this? One came apart but they both have bolts...

    Really glad I got the parts trailer. Learned there is a center bolt front and rear. So I used it to position the trailer and tub. Also started pulling the parts I need to mate them again. Will definitely have to replace these bolts.

    With the help of my awesome wife we got the tub up and in a position to roll the frame under it.

    Ty hen I moved on to swapping the 11R16’s for the 9R16’s from the donor trailer. 11’s fit bit it’s way too tall for my truck. They’d be good behind my Jeep though.

    Swapped the landing gear over wasn’t too bad.

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Brought the trailer home. Friend put a coat on it for rust protection. Don’t look close. I need something different for tires. 11R16’s are way too big. Time to reattach the tub.

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    I built them. That is steel I welded to the frame to catch the front hole on the brake levers. Thanks for the pictures of the brackets and tabs that hold the bed to the frame.

    They are an extension to the frame and catch the lower front bolt hole. My handles are spaced out with the supplied spacer.

    Was able to get to the shop again and knock out the other side. Also added a brace to the brake lever. Also noticed my data plate says M116A1

    Yep! I posted that before going to lunch hoping I was right. When I got back I put it all together and it worked!

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Started on the right. This trailer is fighting me the whole way. Brake line tube was crushed so I pulled the one off the other axle I have. Cable came out but the new one will nit go in. Also the arm the cable attaches to is bent on this side too.
