What is....

[oldMan99]

I know what it is used for, but:

Is it military or just wearing military type tires?

What is the name/number of it so I can look it up?

Do they ever come up on GL for sale?

What is the weight carrying capacity of it?

Looks home made to me from MV leftovers.
This is what a M198 looks like.

Looks like a homemade job using the frame from an M105 trailer. Notice the rims have 6 lugs and not 10 like a commercial dolly would. I would not touch that one with a 10 foot pole.

There is a commercial dolly for sale locally. I will email the details to you in case you don't mind a civilian dolly.

Yes and No. It's military but not origional. The military did make them but not quite like that one.

That is a 50s era M103 chassis (most likely from an M105) converted to converter dolly use. For what a converter dolly does, that chassis is way to light. Would be good for yard work but I'd not be hittin the streets with it. The M200 makes a better platform for one. M197s and M198s used to be pretty cheap, now-a-days they are pretty expensive

Not all military dollies were 10 bolt! Tho-I am guessing it's a modded M105 trailer in this case.

Oh, I know. I was talking about the use of 6 lugs on a civilian dolly. The OP was asking if it was military or a civilian dolly with military tires and that's why I mentioned the 6 lugs. A civilian dolly wouldn't have bothered with a 6 lug rim since normal semi trucks use a 10 lug Budd rim. But yes, I've seen military dollies use 6 lug rims for use with deuce and a half trucks.

To me it looks like a m105 frame, cutdown, but still has the proper springs with the helpers. You can see the dual parking brake handles and the original trailer plug for the lights. I could not tell if the air hose is there to operate the brakes.

Not much good for anything as it too heavy to haul around for little things and too small to haul big things. Parts source would be my best use for it.

Just my two cents
