What model trailer is this?

[656owner]

I was trying to find information on this trailer that I was looking to buy. So far I have found nothing. The owner only called it an aluminum military trailer. And if anyone knows what the fair market price is that would be very helpful for me.

Man, I thought I had seen them all, but that is a new one to me.

Agreed. Maybe British?? Wild guess.

That Is a lot of support brackets? I would love to see the suspension to see what kind of weight Is was designed for. Trailer looks small though, opcorn:

Those rims look like the ones on my Canadian M101 Trailer.

No data plate anywhere?

Canadian?

Looks kinda like a wheelbarrow to me.

No tags in the photo's. I plan on looking at in person soon.

The suspension looks to have tie rods attached to the crosmember.

I think it's a homemade contrabulation that used a vehicle front suspension.

That is a prototype trailer for the prototype amphibious MUTT. I forget the numbers, I'll get back to you on that. Or it is a matter of some one with to much time on there hands. And lots of parts laying around.

I think Doghead may be right. The suspension is not M151. But the box is for sure US.

I been searching and found this # (XM416A1 IRS) for a prototype M151 trailer but could not find a photo. Maybe some else can find one.

I have not only messed with M151 designs but also decided to modify a 416 trailer.

The standard 416 has a solid axel that complicated trailing in the field as well as constant resistance to the Independent suspension on the M151 Jeep.

I construct 3 trailers, 2 trailers were build using the rear IS from M151A1's and the thrird trailer has the trailing arms from a M151A2.

I sol one XM416A1 to a buddy of mine in California the other two are mine and Nates.



link post on message board, still no picts
though


The Top Dog nailed another one, A Home Grown Trailer,....

 

[656owner]

Would $275. be a fair price for an altered or home made military trailer?
This box style is a new one for me. Been searching for hours and did not see another like it.

Thanks Tony

Good price, worth that in aluminum. Do you have a picture that shows the tail lamps? The draw bar is military.

 

[656owner]

The 3 pictures I have do not show any tail lamps.
I am thinking I've caught this olive drab sickness I heard about here.



I just called the owner. He says it has the miltary tail lights and he never altered it. He believes it is all stock military.
But I have to look it over good to believe that is unaltered.

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

That's what I was thinking. But the box doesn't look like home-brew. Maybe somebody had a military trailer body with no frame, and they cobbled something together....

Post #9 the pic shows the tail light on the right side behind the tail gate.

If you cut yourself and you bleed green.......................

That looks a lot like 151 front suspension with short tie rods to hold center.

The tail lights are mounted in the body.
