M105A2 W/Field Mod Spare Tire Mount

[spitfire_pilot]

So I picked up a really nice M105 with a mod for a spare tire. Really sturdy and it does'nt move around at all. Makes setting the e brake a little difficult but not really that bad. I am posting the pics from ebay where I bought it but it pulled great for 250 miles back to NW Ohio. I'll post some from the Holiday Parade on Sat. Enjoy the pics.

two men and a boy. Not that easy, but if you have a flat, it comes off alot easier than loading it.

Stupid Question

What is the purpose of the 1x1 inch square cutouts on the trailer bed?

I just added a deuce tire mount to my 105 up forward. Easy on and off.

Got the idea from a thread here as I do most of my mod ideas.

I saw that trailer on ebay, plus the pics the former owner posted up on here. I wanted that to carry my mule around, but you beat me to it.

Good score.

Neat trailer. How is the tire secured? Nut and bolt?

Does not show much detail about the tire rack, but you can see a couple different pics of it.

The wheel is secured with a piece of angle iron with a threaded rod and loop. The loop can be tightend with the lug bar and when its tight (its very loose in the pics) the tire rides straight up and plumb. You have to loosen the attachment bolt to remove/install the cover. I'll tack some close ups of it on friday.

Sounds good. Thanks for the explanation. I look forward to the pics.

X2 here. I see the holes he's talking about. They are holes, right? Above the fenders? Drain holes for river crossings?
