New asset for the museum arrived today. This will really help with transport needs.

trailer.
Yes, this is the one that I was talking about at the rally. It needs new air lines, wiring and wood floor but for the most part it is a solid trailer.
Franz,
No, this was not a custom job. Is an EET (Engineering Equipment Trailer) and it is rated for 20K off road. Adjacent tires can be lifted 18" and the other 2 still make contact.
I did not know 'till recently that the gov uses a pintle dovetail trailer. Much less with singles and 1 pc 20" wheels. Jason (halftrack) included a pic (1st in this post) in a HEMTT thread that had one of these in the background.

That's what I love about this site. I have been doing this hobby for 30 years and I learn something new about MVs here every day. That will be one handy trailer!

Looks a little light to be carrying a Sherman.

Cool! So it doesnt have springs right? It just pivots between the axles?

Looks like it could use a few ramps to load things onto easier.
Great save!

Interesting... it sits level behind the bobber but sits forward-down behind the M923. Maybe it was made for the MTVR?
Got the loading ramps installed. The spare tire mount was broken off. Need to revise the mount and reattach.
It does have leaf springs but I have never before seen this arrangement.

The trailer was made to go with the the rubber tire backhoe that we use in the Marines which is pulled with the MTVR. Justin -- good score!

Nice trailer. it resembles my Miller dual tandem 10-ton. They pull nice, you'll like it.
In picture #3, What is that sticking down, between the passanger side leafspring and the differential on your front axle? I never seen that before.
