M101A1 trailer rims

Post by Theosaf66 »

Hi, I am about to purchase a M101A2 3/4 t. for my M37 B1. I have choose that one specific for the hydraulic brake system. How ever the rims of that one is quite deferent that the 9.00X16 which the M37 have. Contrary the M101A1 have the same rims and matching with the M37 but no brake system. Is any way to have the A2 and replace the rims with the older ones of the A1 in order to look same behind the vehicle. And if yes what I need to do.
Thanks
Theo

Theo,

My first guess and maybe the easiest would be to do an axle swap. We have too much snow on the ground for me to go out and measure the spring perch locations.

Well, that is why the made the change, to put a more common rim with surge brakes. If you want to match the M37 you'll have to go with the M101A1. You can always fab up some brakes for it, probably won't be easy or inexpensive. Your choice.
