Bump

Welcome to the site. Looks like a great starting point.

I should still have some zenith and holley carbs for the r6602.

Bump, still looking for parts listed in the OP.

I haven’t been over there in years but last I had heard there was nothing left for sale. I saw those but I’m hoping to find something a little closer if possible. I bought some stuff from them last year and should have gotten one then but I didn’t need it at the time.

Anyone near New England have an extra wheel for a m123 10 ton kicking around? Looking for one wheel for 14.00x24 size tire. No tire. I’ll be driving down to Atlanta next month too.

I have one just like it kicking around here, it had a 14.00x20 NDCC on it. As far as I know they were used on artillery and maybe as a non combat wheel alternative for the m41 5 ton which came with 14.00x20 tires singled out on the rears. Years ago I found some pictures online of an m543...

Some more pictures:

I recently picked up one of these trailers and was curious to see if anyone else on the board had one or had any information about them. Also looking for a technical manual if one exists. I've seen a handful of these surplused through different sites, but I'm not sure if it was a big...
