M447C trailer

[roadagent]

A couple of pictures of my new trailer. I think they are cool. I have all side panels. 2 heaters (1 working, 2nd needs more trouble shooting fuel lines on carb installed backwards.) Roof needs some rivets and new water proofing. Some one used aluminum rivets into steel supports. The trailer just needs a weekend with some nice weather to get staightened out. I think it was used to test generators. Four load bank boxes and lots of cable. Any one have an extra a/c unit for these?

I have one in my yard that I wished would leave

If you were 1200 miles closer Kenny I take it off your hands for you

 

[Recovry4x4]

If I were 1200 miles closer, you would only have 146 miles to come fetch it. Sucks to be this close to Cuba! As a matter of fact, if anyone is serious about getting this thing out of my yard, I'll consider deuce parts trades too. I even have the approach ramps and 5th wheel I can get rid of. Bring your cargo or M200 and bolt this stuff on and be gone with this trailer. Would also be cool to lose the van body and put an M36 body on it for a cargo trailer. (bodies are the same length).

I like the M818 with 4 color camo best of all. Beautiful truck!

I also have a M447 here in south east Wisconsin that I don't like looking at either. Have one that has a twenty foot long wheel base five ton dropside cargo bed on it,useful set up.
BUT ALL I WANT FOR Christmas is two M146 boarding ladders NSN 2540-00-974-3831 FSM (19207) Part number7034270.

Well Kenny I would consider a trade. My Pinz for a nicely set up 818 and the trailer in good shape. Talk about a good camping rig.

PM me if your interested in parting with it. My tractor should be functional in a few months and I'd like to get a trailer for it then.

Something like this, perhaps?

 

[davidkroberts]

Bring it to haspin...



Did I say that out loud?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Adam, you were with 700 miles of it, shoulda came and got it.

 

[oilcan]

And it would've only doubled my drive. Well, maybe a little more than double.




Borrow a dolly and drag it to haspin.


Gee whiz, My little slim jim guy is noisy tonight!

davidb how much you looking to get for it im close enough to take it off your hands

 

[kurtkds]

Just was looking around and found this post. First time Ive seen the side panels.

 

[airborneinfantrygrunt75]

So I am bidding on one myself, on yours I see that you have the sides folded up and down for the ceiling and floor so where did the sides to enclose it come from or are they part of the trailer factory. If not how did you get them?

 

[airborneinfantrygrunt75]

Awesome so does the sides come with this trailer to enclose it when the sides are extended......is that factory?

 

[kurtkds]

There are 3 options.
Option 1 open sides with posts and chains to prevent person from walking off edge
Option 2 canvas curtains for bad weather operation, I believe that is the typical setup. Stored in storage box on front of trailer.
Option 3 hard insulated sides for arctic operation. Stored inside while in motion.

It's stuff like this that makes me impressed at the ingenuity of the Army... capable of establishing/designing/building (knowing need to be built) such capabilities/uniqueness. We literally, for decades, had the ability to just roll up, stop, and set up shop, even more so than today in some (many?) aspects.

I think the 447 uses the hard sides, whereas the 750 and 749 use the soft sides.
