Good morning Darrel,

After some thinking, and looking at the website that you provided,
you say you have a M101 trailer. These trailers did not come equipped
with a hand crank. Most were man handled like Ron says by 2 -> 4
" volunteers ".
These cranks were probably added at some later point.

The website shows the drop leg / hand crank for what I think is
used on the newer humvee style trailers, whose M series number I cannot
seem to recall at this time.

Something else that works good in a pinch is a high lift jack.
Especially if your trailer is loaded or has a spare tire mounted
in front of the bed like I do.

Of course I could be wrong. Anyone else care to comment ?
