Utility - Trailer Identification

[drgreg]

Can you I.D. this trailer? Trailer- Utility- 2 1/2 ton, 2- wheel, the tongue can extend & it has a reel for the hoses.

M# and TMs would help.

I've seen those around. It looks like all they did was take the deck/bed off of an M103 generator trailer and dropped an S250 shelter on it. Moveable communications /retrans stations.
The extendable tongue thing might be a run-what-ya-brung affair.

its an expandable telephone pole trailer, with an s250 mounted. The reel is for the lights when not extended.

Could it be an M296, if so any info?

Does NSN 2330-00-297-8102 make any sense?

Its a M11 pole trailer that were used with the early bolster and telephone line repair trucks. I have one just like it. There are extensions that go in the two round holes in the back for real long sticks but someone has put tail lights in that one. They will hold whatever the tires will take.

I did not see it on Ebay, but yes I did buy it (them), I saw it on craigs list. I was looking for a shelter for a while, and this one looks to be in great shape. I will pick it up tomarrow.

Thats what I thought, that it was a good deal, Iam getting an M101A2 next week, the shock of two additions would have put TLW over the limit, Iam sure. Iam glad one of the SS members got it
Thanks
