M101A3 military trailer parts & Firestone air bags/AT parts

I wasn't sure if this should go in the Trailers section, or expedition parts, but since they're trailer parts, they ended up here...

I am in the process of modifying my M101A3 3/4-ton military trailer to better suit my needs. I have pulled the following parts, which I no longer need. Photos of these items can be seen in my build thread (linked in my signature).

  • M101A3 3/4-ton military trailer axle with hydraulic & hand brakes: This is one heavy motha'!!! Raised center section for increased ground clearance. 8-lug bolt pattern with hydraulic drum brakes. $60 (may separate hand brake levers)
  • M101A3 tongue bracket/casting w/landing leg & jack: Unlike the M101A2s, the A3s had a landing leg with an integrated jack. It works great, but I redesigned my tongue area, and this didn't work with my design. $35 (*SOLD: shortbus4x4*)
  • M101A3 lunette & surge brake master cylinder: Worked great for my trip home from Kentucky (where I purchased the trailer) to Michigan. $25


I also bought some Firestone air bags & HD brackets from Adventure Trailers, with the intentions of doing a fancy schmancy air bag suspension system on my trailer. I don't need to sell these, but came to the realization that it's overkill for my purposes, which will be 90%+ on-road use. Because the air bags were back-ordered for several weeks, I ended up getting upgraded with premium air bags (150 lbs. max pressure) rather than the standard ones (100 lbs. max pressure). The HD brackets, air bags, 90-degree fittings, schraeder valves, and air lines totaled over $300 + shipping. They are all new, and have never been installed. I'll sell it all for half that...$150 firm (*SOLD: shortbus4x4*) + shipping. NOTE: One premium air bag sells for more than that new.

Shipping will be from Cedar Springs, Michigan (zip 49319), which is just north of Grand Rapids. Of course, pick-up is also an option, especially for the large/heavy parts.


Thanks,
Craig

CAS - I'm 99% certain that the landing gear/jack is spoken for. However, I haven't had any bites yet on the axle and/or hand brakes. Shoot me an offer on the hand brakes/cables if you're interested in just them, and we'll go from there. Thanks!

What is the width of the axle? Inside hub to inside hub? Also width between the spring mounts? Thnx

Sale pending on some of the items above (original post has been updated).

I still have the axle/hand brakes, as well as the lunette/surge brake available. I'd like to get these out of the garage in the next 3-4 weeks.

Thanks,
Craig

If the sale falls through on the bags and brackets, I have money ready to go right now. Let me know, Cheers
