Hey guys. I traveled down to Atlanta, GA today to pickup my new m1061a1 5 ton trailer. I was very excited to get this thing. I had a super big let down when I got there. Who ever is moving these trailers around has ruined the brake systems. All the 5 ton trailers had the hydraulic/air chambers broken off, all fresh damage. 5 in the auction. 3 on site to look at still all busted up.
The air release value cables were bent and broken and pulled off the air tanks also.
My chambers air hose had been cut and the chamber had been taken.
I spent all day looking at the tm and tring to find a new master cylinder(federal mogul part# fe14240) and air brake chamber (bendix part # 225358 ) it seems these parts are discontinued, I have not been able to cross reference this stuff and I have been told that the air over hydraulic is crap and not even allowed in the civilian world.
Is there an easy way to get this trailer up and running safely carrying heavy loads, without getting hammered on ebay for a new master cylinder. I still have not found a brake chamber. What should i do?
busted side
good side
broken tank and cable.
This made me so upset I almost refused getting the trailer.
