I saw those drawers in the new models, very nice. My old model has tool boxes in cubbies...not very handy. The main tools don't look like mine either. I'm surprised a nice unit like that would be surplus.
Looking at the picture of the trailer....that system looks modern, and really nice. I bet you're happy with that trailer! Mine looks like an antique by comparison.
On my way home with it, a guy at the gas station thought mine was an old generator trailer. I think mine was used, but nothing was...
While the configuration of the trailers, and setup are different, probably the parts used are similar. I would really like to see one in action being used. There are parts of the system that I know I'm missing, but I know I can do without. There is a solvent tray, tank and pump I don't have, but...
By the looks of mine, and the many layers of paint, when they say over 5 years, I would say way over 5 years. That said there are lots of new supplies, and quite a few new pipe bending tools. I'm trying to figure how they are used. Some of these things fit together one way or another. I need...
On the paper stickers it has on it says it's 4910010365784. The metal plates don't have that number stamped and everything else is sun bleached totally. I'm not super confident it has the NSN# it came with. Hopefully it's right. The date on the plate has 12/78 etched by hand.
I believe mine is the old one. It's from 1978. It is on a M116a1 trailer, and it looks like the one in that thread from 2014, but I have only seen a few pictures to compare old, and new. Thanks
I'm not expecting to find any parts, but if they are available, I would be interested, but that is secondary to how the unit operates. What good are the parts if you don't know how to use them? My son wants me to scrap the hydraulic stuff, and make it into a regular tool trailer. He thinks we...
I downloaded a parts manual from a post back in 2014. My trailer is from 1978. The manual I'm looking at seems to have many of the tools in my trailer. I know I'm missing parts, but I'm trying to figure out how to use what I have. Everything seems to be Parker-Hannifin built. Some new, some old...
I've looked at the TM and see I'm missing quite a bit in the one I have. Has anyone converted theirs to something else, and want to sell parts? or have extras? Has anybody used theirs for it's intended purpose?
Thanks
