What model trailers were for use with the 5 ton tractors? I'm going to start doing some work to the M52A2 and a nice lowboy would be cool, and a nice tanker would be cool-fill that sucker with water and have on hand in case of fire :jumpin:

Dieselsmoke,
You could get an M172A1 25 ton lowboy. The only problem with them is that they are overwidth (114" wide). I've had one and they towed nicely behind my M52A1 and M932. The cool thing is they have a removeable kingpin that can either be used with the 10 ton tractor (or M911) or flipped over and used with a 5 ton.

The M131A- are nice tank trailers. They have powered distribution and share the same wheels and tires with the M52A2 tractor.

M127A2C stake trailers are handy and have both sets of lights so they can be towed with civilian equipment. I think the M128 and M129 vans do too. The M129 van has smaller back doors but the M128 has full width doors, perfect for GPWs, mules and M151s.
