3/4T Manac trailer tires

[cmp truck]

Chris,
I had one of these trailers. It came with 8 bolt, 16" rims and tires. I was told this was to match the 16" wheels and tires on the CUCV trucks. I also thought the trailer was a 5/4 ton not a 3/4 ton. It had been modified to carry a generator, than reverted back to a cargo trailer.
It came with Michelin tires installed on the rims. I thought it was a 16.5" wheeled trailer modified for compatibility with the 16" wheels on the CUCV.

I had a set of those michelin radials on a set of the 16.5 tires. Pretty sure they were just someone's last ditch effort to keep using the 16.5 rims by using some rubber off an old motorhome.

The trailers were purchased to compliment the gas 5/4 ton fleet. The idea was that you didn't have to carry a spare, but rather could use the spare from the truck. Later, we started installing spare tire brackets and spares on the older M101 trailers. Both fleets of trailer stayed in service until the mid 90s, at which time the manacs were around 17 years old, and the oldest of the M101s were around 40 years old.

I was fortunate when I purchased my trailer that it had a rudimentary spare mount and a spare tire on rim. I had carefully tucked this away until a couple years ago when one of the original tires was finally at the end of its road. Main issue was simply sidewall cracking that stopped it from holding air no matter what.
Here I am fast forward, my decent spare is close to finished as is the other remaining original tire on the other side.

Don't mean to be rude, but seeing as the rest of only barely know what a Dodge 3/4 ton is, let alone a Manac 5/4 ton trailer CAN WE HAVE SOME PICTURES?

Here is a picture off the net I believe is what they are referring to as the M101A2 3/4 ton trailer with 8 bolt wheels and surge brakes.

I don't have any record of Canada using M101A2 ¾ Ton Trailers although Canada has employed the M101CDN from CFR years 1951, 1952, 1953, 1968, 1969,

Chris I looked at ours on Monday late and they are not safe for road going and will likely go for recycling in the next off island dump run, sorry
