Does any one know if you can pull a M146 trailer with a M931A1 and will the tries clear the landing gear?
Any pics to show it?

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The landing gear doesn't fold unless you don't plan on using them after you fold the back / break them off.Does the landing gear fold? On some trailers like my m971 the legs can be folded I had to do this with my homemade deuce tractor but not my 818.
Sounds like it is a 14.00 tire issue not a M931 issue. Since the M931 comes with 11.00 tires they may not hit the landing leg plates?I'm not sure of the setback of the kingpin on the M146, but it looks similar to the M128 (comparing Sarge's trailer to mine with no tape measure available), so....
On my M931A2 (14.00 tires) I flip the M128 landing pads back vertically on the landing gear and strap them upright, they clear with a few inches to spare.
They do NOT clear if you leave them down, and WILL catch the tire tread and bend if you forget!
Please don't ask how I know this...
Cheers
He specifically asked about the M931A1 which comes stock with 14.00s........Sounds like it is a 14.00 tire issue not a M931 issue. Since the M931 comes with 11.00 tires they may not hit the landing leg plates?![]()
It just looks like they are cranking up the landing gear. Each side is independent and needs to be cranked upHere's some pics of an M915 hooking up to the M146. Looks like the crew was concerned about it, too, but made it work!![]()
