M1061 parts resources in PA/NY area

[rchalmers3]

I just bought a M1061 trailer (Ebay auction!!!) and am seeking a source for a pair of tires and rims.

The trailer is in Pittsburgh PA and I am located on the opposite end of the state in Cochecton, NY, right on the Delaware river. Any leads or recommendations for obtaining used wheel assemblies at hobbyist pricing are appreciated.

Additionally I am be seeking transport of the trailer to Cochecton, NY 12726 before the Gilbert event. Again, I appreciate any assistance in finding a solution to move the trailer out east.

In the meantime I will post an ad on Uship and on this forum in the transportation section.

Thanks all,

Rick

I hotshot on the side. Would this need to be loaded on my trailer? Or is it towable (guessing it has junk tires)?

You bought that trailer on ebay that is missing a wheel? If that is the correct one, it is NOT an M1061. it is a trailer from a water purification unit.

That's the one. No wonder the price was so low. got any links to the specs on what I purchased? NSN? TM's?

Thanks,

I almost bought that trailer to haul my mule. If you don't mind me asking what did you get it for? Last I checked it was at 500.

I don't have any other info, but here is a page for you to read a little bit... Utility Tool & Trailer - Military Trailers

In that link you can see the differences between the 2 trailers.

WOW. I was looking at 14 acres undeveloped on the Deleware last fall. It was in Damascus right at the end of rt 371. I think I could have thrown a rock to you if I bought that.

I also had my deuce at the East Branch fireworks this July 4th.

I go to Kublos Surplus in Brackney, PA for just about everything. I'm not sure if he has what you need, but give him a call. He has never let me down.

Thanks for the heads up gunboy, I can already see it. The water purification trailer has wheel fenders above the height of the deck.

Both trailers are 5 ton capacity. I'll have to evaluate the utility of this purchase and either retain it for use or re-sell it if those raised fenders are an issue.

Sad part is when I was looking for a mule hauler last year I was hunting for one of those trailers, and could not find one. Right now we are using an M105 as the mule hauler and this one shows up this close to me.

I hate my luck sometimes.

 

[gunboy1656]

I did find some info on the trailer for you through tpub.

Note the info on the skid mount portion as it would have to be loaded between the wheel wells.


EDIT: guess it is a little hard to read, but between the wheel wells is 6.91ft.

 

[rchalmers3]

Is this the one?

Yep

air brakes?

Yep

missing a rim and tire?

Yep

is it a ROWPU?

Yep.

PM sent your way!

It remains to be seen if the trailer will work for the purpose I intended. I called Kublos and was told to call back tomorrow to check on some wheel assemblies with tires.

Thanks,

Rick

Funny I had the same thought.

 

[rchalmers3]

...... it is NOT an M1061. it is a trailer from a water purification unit.

Having paid more attention to the photos and followed gunboy's leads, I have identified the trailer NSN: 2330-01-226-0709

However, unlike other trailers, this platform does not seem to have it's own TM's. Instead the trailer operations are covered in the water purification TM. At least as far as I have found.

Does anybody have better resources for access to an electronic or hard copy of the maintenance TM's?

Thanks,

Rick
