We have an M116 trailer build. It sitll has the heavy surge brake lunette ring on the tongue. I would like to move away from that unit and cut some tongue weight. I am unable to do the work on my own currently and not having luck finding a local weld shop wanting to mess with it.

I had found this online and essentially this is what I am after. M416 Trailer Receiver Tube Tongue Retrofit Kit

Does anybody know of a company making something similar for the M116 trailers?

I just installed that retro fit kit on my 416 a few weeks ago and it works great. You will lose the original landing leg with this install. I picked up a folding trailer jack from Harbor Freight and got a new extended trailer tongue with hitch from Lock N Roll. This combination makes the trailer quieter, more maneuverable and easier to back.

I'm sorry that I did not look at your post more carefully. I have M416 on the brain. After looking at some photos of a M116 it may still work with some modification.
