m116 chassis antenna transeiver ?

[juanprado]

Would anyone be able to identify the intended purpose for the bracket behind the surge brake on the A-frame?

Anyone have a manual on this device or chassis only?

Thanks for any help you can offer?

Its part of a radar system. Google the numbers on the data plate.

Love to have one of those a3 chassis to put under my S-250 shelter.


Found this when I googled the numbers

THE AN/TPQ-36(V)7 SYSTEM CONSISTS OF ONE ANTENNA-TRANCEIVER GROUP
(ATG) MOUNTED ON A M116A2 TRAILER, ONE S250 SHELTERED OPERATIONS
CONTROL GROUP (OCG), ONE M116A2 TRAILER CHASSIS TO MOUNT THE POWER
SOURCE, AND ONE M116A2 TRAILER CHASSIS WITH SPECIAL CARGO BED. THE
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION REQUIRES TWO HEAVY HMMWVs, ONE TO MOUNT THE OCG
AND PULL THE ATG AND ONE TO TRANSPORT A GENERATOR AND PULL THE
MOUNTED GENERATOR. ADDITIONALLY, A M1038 HMMWV SUPPORT VEHICLE IS
REQUIRED TO PULL THE M116A2 TRAILER WITH THE SPECIAL CARGO BED.

bracket for a center mount heavy duty landing leg

Thanks for the heads up on the link as several of the pictures show clearly that it takes a different landing leg than the regular m116a2 or a3 series or m101a2 /a3 trailers.

It is a monuting bracket for the center landing leg with a top crank beefy civy style landing leg.

Now I know where to start looking for a boat or heavy duty trailer landing leg assembly.
