    Small log trailer from M720 dolly set?

    With frt/rr hooked directly together they snake all over at any speed. Two in series is a really 150mi long drive on a 90F in July. Twice. Not again. Snake doesn't even begin. When you get your frame in between the frt/rr I'm sure will trailer at 50mph with no problem. A M832 or M1022 (no...

    Pick a M35A3

    FD largely gave up on buying manual trans (when could afford Allisons) about the same time as Uncle Sam (25yrs ago). And it is getting more so every year. The % of the population that can drive a manual without breaking you on clutch/equipment repairs is small. We long got past the "not...

    Pick a M35A3

    Correction M109A4. No interest in multifuel/manual. It's CAT/Allison I was apparently not clear. Cost to us to acquire any of the 3 options is the same (essentially $0). Question is what most "profitable" endgame is. Does a new condtion M109 (A4) body have marketability/what value vs...

    Looking for a military 20' container trailer

    Anywhere you want to go road or limited crosscountry, Full air brakes. Likely could modify a M1022 but more work due to the design. Backing a full trailer (vs bumper hitch) is a bit of a trick.

    How long will the M35 remain in service?

    We're into function not actetics in my FD. Modern CAT diesel vs a 50yr old boat anchor/"mulitfuel". Industry standard is Allison vs manual. Sam put on the "good bits" desired on a Duece when did the rebuilds. A chassis with frame off rebuild approx 12yr ago that typicaly has 2-5000mi. Not a hard...

    How long will the M35 remain in service?

    Price? What price? You can get any DOD surplus at no cost thru state forester. Under newer FFP program you also get title (unlike the old FEPP).

    Anyone ever used a second trailer body for a "topper"?

    Sam has them. Few/far between. I have no idea who makes or the NSN. Perhaps in a PS Mag issue.

    Installing axles on a ISO 20' container..?

    I think you mean empty with is 2200lb? Std ISO box is 8' high. If you have a 9' that is a Hicube and can't use a M1022. I think M1022A1 will work for a Hicube. Rated load capacity of M1022 is 15000lb (box with cargon). Tires will be the limiting factor on total load. Trailer quite...
