M200a1 Trailer in SW Louisiana?

[4x4 Forever]

Question guys,

Does anyone have a M200a1 trailer in the SW Louisiana or SE Texas area?
I am thinking about a project and would like to look over the animal and take measurements...

Many Thanks!

Just remember there are those who will help deliver if needed.

I was just hoping that there would be one closer than a 3 1/2 hour drive...

 

[ke5eua]

Completely understandable. Just be glad it's not Texas, lol

Hey Jeepsinker, I would but am on a boat offshore Brasil...Gotta work...but I will when I get back home! Thanks!!

G,

Please see attached 'drawing' - really, really not to scale...

I believe the frame width is 38" inside to inside,
distance of inside tires from each other are 48"
distance from each inner tire to frame is 2"

Also, would you think it would ok to run just the outside tires, aka, super singled?
Do you know if the hubs can be flipped?

I think that is all right now.

Many Thanks G!

What is you overall goal with the trailer. I take it is something specialized.

Er, uh, uh, uh...

Use it as a trailer, Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking with it...

Actually, I was thinking of a trailer that had more capacity than the M105 but really do not want to run a double boogie...

Gotcha, thought you were going to mount a shelter on it.

I had that idea with my s250 shelter.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Yeah the m200 is a much more heavy duty unit.

That's correct.
You can find all of these dimensions already posted here, (almost 10 years ago...!)

Also, would you think it would ok to run just the outside tires, aka, super singled?

That would depend mostly on the use and load to be carried. I would probably be replacing those dual 9.00-20's with something tubeless, like 12.5R20 (single, on custom wheels). There is really not much room left under those fenders, to run much bigger rubber. (I found that mine had already been rubbing, with the stock NDCC's....!)

Do you know if the hubs can be flipped?

No, they can't. But it may be possible to adapt M35 hubs, if the spindle dimensions where similar...?? I will find out when the day comes to service the brakes and bearings.

Just the information I had been looking for!
Bad part, I looked over that same thread 4 or 5 times and did not see the word doc...
Guess I gotta get new eyes!
Curious about adapting to M35 hubs, something that will have to look into.

Many Thanks G!
