M101 Dimensions, or, will it fit in a M105

[FMJ]

I have 2 trailers to pick up in Santa Fe, 105&101, I'd rather not take the Deuce. Will the M101 fit in the bed of the M105? I did a search for dimensions/specs for the 101 but came up dry...

Or, if someone could measure the width of their M101, at the widest point (outside edge of tires, or fenders) that would help out alot.

Thanks,
Ed

I have photos of both of my M101's on my website including shots of the weight and dimension dataplates that may be used to see the width, etc...

73.5" is what is given for the outside to outside measurment for the width of the body, total length with drawbar down is 147", length with drawbar up is 101"

See:

or see:

I don't have photos of either my M104's or M105's dataplates to reference from work so I can't answer that part for you...

Good luck

Thanks, I have "several" M105's at home and a tape measure.......so the 101 data is what I needed, Thanks!

Did this work for you? I just won an auction for a M105 and a M101 and need to do the same thing.

are they not the same size bed just with different hitch and springs?

Yes, but the 101 needs to go into the 105 trailer facing backwards, tongue to the rear.

Awesome thanks. Do you think I could back the 105 up to a loading ramp, set the parking brake, then back the 101 into the 105 from a loading ramp?

The fenders may prove a problem in the 105, I had GL load the 101 with a fork lift.

Loading ramp should work BUT be sure to put the REAR landing leg down. The weight of the 101 going into the 105 will stand the 105 straight up. Don`t forget to put the landing leg bak up. Good luck,, I`d probably forget it

Was this with the sides on the M105? I have this same dilemma. Both 101 and 105 have side racks and top...

Thanks!
