Made some progress on the goofy looking m416. Nothing special up close but it’s green. I just want to get something done completely, even if it’s the easiest project.

I think I used 2” square tube. Everything worked fine.

I used the stock crossmember with an added spacer in my nv4500 truck.

Looks like a nice truck!

Welcome to the site, that looks like a real nice trailer. At least someone figured it out after only snapping two of the wheel studs.

The trailer is shown just after the 2 minute mark in this company history video.

The trailer was a really good deal, and right in town too. The seller even delivered it for free since we didn’t haggle. The tires do look pretty good for 100 years old! I really think that after checking the hubs this could still be used in a farm or similar application as it sits (of course...

I might have to check with organizations like that to find put more about it. I don’t think they were actually used in the war, I suspect they were ordered because of the war and never used (probably too late to need them) Based on newspaper ads there were some big surplus auctions in the US...

So a quick search of that newspaper archive site showed ads based upon the one in the original post started showing up in California newspapers around October of 1921. Prices were $275 then eventually $200. It looks like an earlier ad with a different picture showed up in a Davenport, Iowa...

$400 is a great deal if it’s solid. The lunette itself is the same as on m416s (although some early m100s did have the thinner style) and will bolt up as long as they didn’t ruin the casting (which looks okay from the pic).

Here are the manuals you want to read, you’re looking at the book for an earlier model truck. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-939-series-trucks.79228/

I’m working on changing over an m416 jeep trailer to m416a1 specs lately. Since the surge brake is similar to the one on the m101a2 and a3 I figured it’d be different to install a crank up landing leg like on the m101a3 so I modified one to fit. On the left is an stock m101 series leg, in the...

Is the winch on the front or back of the truck?

I’d say 14.00x20.

Sounds like you’re installing an NV4500, not an sm465? The later NV4500 chevy trucks have the internal slave setup which has no clearance issues. That’s what I have in m1028. The earlier NV4500 chevy trucks have the slave cylinder on the passenger side which I’ve also heard will have...

I have a pedal bracket in my m1028 from a hydraulic clutch, vacuum boost truck. I installed one in a CUCV blazer too. As I remember the pedal bracket has 2 mounting studs that need to be cut off, because they’re already on the booster side. Also the vacuum brake pedal was different so swap...

Looks like an m925a1 to me. Maybe an m925 with a tire swap.

I just had one all apart to shorten/modify for a jeep trailer. It’s actually pretty straight forward once you get into it. Remove it from the trailer and there are two screws that hold the top cover on. Once that’s off you’ll need to knock out some pins and the bottom half will drop out...

I’d think that’s when it was first registered, so probably around then unless someone waited to tag it.
