M101 military Cargo Trailer Question?? HELP!

[Tim Powell]

That's good! I "towed" myself right into that one!!

[cuz]

Where are you hauling it from?

[Tim Powell]

The plan was to pick up the trailer in Indianapolis Indiana next week when I get in off the road. I work 7 on and 7 off. (Truckdriver) Anyway, there was a mix up and I'll have to wait until the owner gets another few trailers in stock. He had the one I was going to buy listed in an auction. It's a long story but the short version is I don't do auctions. Cash is king. The owner has 7 more m101's bought and is waiting on the titles. I get my pick of the next liter. I'll be around tomorrow but leave for work Wednesday and be gone for a week. I'm going to try and get a load out towards nothwest Indiana and try and find a tailgate for our "M". (probably won't happen but I can dream)

Hey Crew. I have one last question. what is the distance between the rear tie-down shackles on the M101 cargo trailer? Excuse the poor art-work!

[Tanner]

Distance between tie-down rings is ~40"... and lunette ring is about 1 5/8" thick, so I don't know how critical the '1 to 1-1/2" lunette ring thickness' spec will be if using the Wallace Forge item...

Thanks Tanner!! As far as the Wallace Forge item, that problem has been solved. My neighbor, Altorfer Caterpillar has a raised hitch I can use!! Nice to have neighbors with big toys!! By the way, I bought my tail-gate and hauled it home in my Wally-Rig this week!! How cool is that!
