Shop Equipment, Welding (SEW) Trailer - Aluminum

[CallMeColt]

Everyone,

Got myself a SEW. Seems a TM is non-existant for it. Especially this odd aluminum model that is between the original fiberglass one & the new SEW-NG that is now out.

It had most of what should have been in there as far as the major stuff, besides gas bottles.

The Miller 302 Diesel had 69 hours on it. Started right up. Air compressor needs a rebuild but works. The MIG gun for the 12VS suitcase welder is missing along with the electrode holder for ARC welding.

The bolts were all undone on the welder for some reason but in the trailer.

In my opinion, I think a lot of little stuff was taken from the trailer or sabotaged so the unit that had it could send it off to DRMO.

I'll post updates. I have made progress as I've had this about a month already. If anyone can locate the TM for this, I'd be a happy camper!

I made this quick video shortly after I got it.

I got the leads fixed and the electrode holder & was able to test the ARC welding side of the welder.

Don't roast my welding! I already did get a bit better. Was just winging it & making sure it worked.

Yeah, I will have this thing forever. I wish it was a little lighter, but I may look into an axle swap. HMMWV wheels and electric brakes would make it much better behind a regular pickup truck. Usually an M116 or M1101 type is the way to go, but this one is purpose built so the axle swap is worth it.

Compressor rebuild went smoothly. Got a 75/25 Argon bottle for it. Found the TM here for the chassis of the trailer, M103A3. Tweaking in a few things & have been welding a bit with it to get better.

Is there not a data plate on it someplace where the TM is listed on it? Should be.

Just for tie down, the chassis, and that it's a SEW. If I remember it, I will take some detailed pictures of each that is on it to show. Normally, there is a tag that shows it. But, it's either missing or was never put on because this is an odd unit. Could be possible I missed it, but I doubt it.

Here are the data plates. The one that shows the TM is for the M103A3 that I already have, not the SEW.

I will probably do a more complete "walk around" video of the trailer once I get a few more things repaired to kind of show exactly what a SEW trailer is on my YouTube channel.

Thats thing is awesome. I have been watching them on GP and the prices are finally starting to come down enough I may try and grab one. Did you get yours from auction or private. It looks pretty clean compared to most of the auction stuff.

This TM is for an electronics semi tractor trailer.

The link however, has a few good bits of information.

I got it from the Texas Federal Surplus Program. It's not private, but not a public program either.

Got it all legal yesterday. Titles & registered.
