What is this and what might it be good for, other than scrap?
-
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Identify this?

You sure you can't post a smaller size picture? I can still tell it's a trailer.

Keep in mind, I was trying not to infringe on people's property. I saw it yesterday while driving, and had to stop and take pictures of it today.
Thought someone might have an idea, because it looks kinda older than me...

So, to answer my 2nd question, is it worth anything?

I guess if you want it, otherwise it's prolly worth $250.

The springs off the trailer would work for a bob job.
The bed could be used as a flatbed on a bobber if you were so inclined.
If the genny runs it would be worth some cash.
Otherwise...scrap.

hmmmm Maybe I'll go see if the people want to get rid of it. Take the little eyesore off their land... I think the Dakota can pull it off there....
I just need to go get my Pintle from Lakewood...

M103A3 trailer probably $150 or so and an MEP018A genset. 10KW and can consume its weight in gas in a day. Cranetruck needs parts from that model genset. I found my 103 quite useful when I had it.

FWIW A setup like that would be a PU-564B/G, a single 10kw gas mounted generator on a M103??. Wayne

Right Kenny, but located in WA, the shipping of the generator head to VA (if the seller would even want to take the time to separate it from the engine) would be prohibitive....
gas consumption isn't that bad, about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 GPH with a low load.

Bjorn,
You forget about the Steelsoldiers supply line! While not much crosses the Rocky Mountains, there are bold folks that make long distance trips east and west. You just need to find someone doing so (or having a deuce sized veh shipped east - say from Idaho Motor Pool) that the head could be put in the bed - some added weight but no extra cube.

You are right Mike, I'll be watching this trailer with a jaundiced eye.

So help me narrow this down. Get a better look at it? Get more details? Make an offer?
Picture of the dataplate, if possible?
I mean if someone needs parts, I have no qualms about getting it and storing it. Just let me know.
There is a scrapper real close to me, so hauling it a couple extra miles isn't an issue either...

Yes, it's an M103 trailer - originally would be set up with two generators. I have two of them for hauling firewood. Very similar to the common M105 trailer, but wider and longer. The added length is behind the axle, so they pretty much balance on the axle - not much tongue weight. I prefer them to the M105 for firewood - they hold significantly more. I think I paid less than $200 for one of them, and around $400 for the other, which was current scrap price at the time.

I'll stop tomorrow and get a picture of the data plate and see if the owner wants to sell it.
Good?

Ok, the guy wants... You are sitting down, right?
$1,250!!!!!!!
It is an m103a2. Built by Bellevue of Ohio. It has holders for 6 Jerry cans, but no cans. Someone cut the cables to, I think, the batteries. Tires might make it about a mile before blowing. It has an air connector for the brakes.
I couldn't, didn't, tell the guy that his price was way too high or way more than it would be worth as scrap.
Oh well.
