I've allways wanted to read mine's data plate but when they repainted the
trailer a good bit of overspray ended up on it, so after reading the first
post and nothing else going on today I removed it from the trailer so I
could take a better look at it. Turned out the data plate is for a M105A2
with a deliver date of Apr 1967. So is mine just a add-on by some unit? I
also checked the operation of the lift, it goes down nice but I would hate
to have a load on it going up. I have some pictures at the link below. Wayne
