CDN M101 trailer

[JimCT]

We just picked up a M101 trailer to carry our camping gear behind our '68 LR ambulance/camper this summer. A couple of questions. Anyone know if there are trailer hubs available that match the LR wheel stud spacing? Might weld on the ends of a spare rear axle i have kicking around. Or perhaps someone knows of a source for a spare tire for the trailer? I think it has Iltis wheels. Thanks Jim

I thought M101s were interchangeable with M416s- if that was the case the wheels would be 5 on 5 1/2 pattern and you should e able to get spare wheels from the trailer from any number of sources- that was one of the most popular wheel patterns for years. I never really looked into it because my trailer came with something crazy like 6 spares.

that guy got adapters made IIRC. I remember I looked into getting adapters made so I could use Land Rover wheels and it was possible, I can't remember who made them though.

Search through this forum and you'll find a lot of info:

I've been looking for trailer for my 88" , too. Can you tell me where to find a Sankey or other military type trailer in the U.S.?

If you want a Sankey contact Howard Smith- they aren't cheap though.

Otherwise search for M416, "army trailer", M101, etc on eBay see this link too:
