[indy4x4fab]

I have two of thses ladders the two hocks messure 36'' from the floor to the hocks.heres the nsn #

2540-00-041-0187 I found this one but all it said was that it was retired in 1969
or
2540-00-641-6187

Is it possible an early m105 bording ladder?

 

[gimpyrobb]

They work well for that. Miltrucks sold about 200 of those ladders here not too long ago. Many of the guys at Haspin have them.

 

[indy4x4fab]

gimpy you wouldn't happen to know what they went to do you?

 

[gimpyrobb]

No, not what they were made for. They are heavy, thats all I know.

 

[indy4x4fab]

Not as heavy as a m109 steel ladder tho.

 

[docfarmall]

I have a couple for ole Miltrucks they work great

They don't look tall enough to be a m146 ladder,how wide are they? Do you have any pics of the the m146 ladders that you found?

Yes, I'll post htem as soon as I find them again, been sick this past week, with a chest cold and sign-as cold as well. Purty much put me on my but for the last three days.

21 and 3/4 inches wide center to center.

it looked to be for a generator trailer. either a 5k or a 10k generator trailer. don't know the type of trailer. don't know the model of trailer.

I got one from Miltrucks via gimpyrobb and it fit right in the rear brackets on my 65 M146, however it was off about 1/2" on my 61 M146

 

[indy4x4fab]

Well that helps a lot guys.

Could it be used for for trailers like this M971 van trailer. I didn't measure between the rails but yours looks like it might work on the landing platform on the back of this trailer.

 

[indy4x4fab]

Maybe but I think I have a couple more ladders like your in case your needing one.

Ours doesn't have rear brackets, just an "I" beam. The side mounts are 20 3/4" on all three of them.(outside of the cut, to outside)
. . . . . . . . . . . . just looked, . . . ours does have rear brackets, under the "I" beam
