    M1061A1 trailer payload question

    You can get a higher rating and already is set up for a dual lunette on the xm1073 series. No ball mount but lower to ground than the m1061 draw bar. Bigger cousin to the m1061. I know of a member in La that has one for sale but that is clear across the world from you. https://uttwi.com/m1073.htm

    Underbody Protection Kit

    Main cage requires brackets. Suggest you read instructions for the kit. I think they are also in the tm's. Front cage depends on winch set up or no winch.

    If they are the metal bows, then yes they will fit both trailers as they have 2 sets of holes to bolt up to the corners. Corners are the same for both trailers. The vertical stakes are different.

    Identify please

    Now that I take a closer look on a larger monitor, the extra port appears to be the threaded section where the drain/air bleed petcock is and most probably a m939 heater core.

    Just a quick update. The repaired pins are working great! I recently switched Boy Scout Councils and moved the trailer to my new assignment as Avondale Scout Reservation. I installed the 2 baskets from the laundry trailer set up Butch had given me on the top frame. For this camp, I put the...

    Can you identify this mystery trailer?

    That is not a m116 or m1101 family. Special purpose built I suspect. What kind of suspension and axle?
