The hub is the problem with no good place for the magnet to grab to. I couldn't find any new style hubs that have the same bearing size of the military ones. I machined down the "stud bosses" on the mil. hub and then made a plate to bolt to the machined hub that allows the magnet to get a good bite.

I just got your PM, I'll go out and take a measurement of the tube.

Thank You, What plate are you referring to? The scab plate tying all the tongues together is 3/16".

Nice work!

With or without a trailer... Coming home from a tour out West.

I'm with Ballbearing, sitting up an electric fence around camp. We use them for our goat herd and they do work well.

Thanks, I do tend to overkill build things, that's where the fun is. (y)

I made my own version mounting plate on a M101A3 with my own homemade tongue...

M101A3 and I'm in Missouri. Here's what I did...

I don't know how far a long you really are ,but I just took off my trailer tongue(s) and you can have them. I built my own style and don't need them.

I would think about building a alum. frame to go under the front and maybe box it in for some type of secured storage. It would be a good way to support it.

Brakes do not come with cables and this trailer has a M101A3 axle with a A2 body, so I cut down the axle in order to tuck the tires under the body. I also have a half dozen trailers, when I bid on them I bid on two at a time. Before.. After... Here's what I did for a new tongue... I...

I just did my M101A3 axle and kept the parking brake... You have to do some cutting/fabbing to the parking cable in order for it to work, though. I have to look up the part number.... EDIT....E-Trailer's numbers brakes/backing plates w/parking brake....23-112-113...

Boss Hog, Nice looking 60! I was sad you sold the 55, but you're still in the game. Any build plans for it?

Very well thought out. I really like the tent lift, interesting.

Sounds to me, you guys are young now and like roughing it. Down the road, maybe kids who would like more heat. I'd think about insulating now if you wouldn't be able to later. I did the same in my shop, now I wish I had insulated, but can't due to built in shelves.
