Do all these Deuce type trailer axles have brakes like this?

No gimp its my dolly. I call it deuce type cause it runs 900-20's on 6 bolt wheels. Strange thing is the in side hub seal. same as the 5 tonners.

Thats cool Dave. There are civy units, but don't "look" the part.

Lots of civi options. they are not even close to the Military ones. wrong height, not as heavy duty and you dont get to play with these fine juice brakes! There is an air brake model but i was not that lucky. heres a shot of the mod that was required to use it with the M819.

As I have not seen these before but there seems to be some serious amount of brake shoe lining on them there things!

So now that you are a pro at re-packing them when do I drop mine off for service?

I seem to recall a thread about making one by welding a fifth wheel to a generator trailer chasis. I think it was David "ARMYMAN30yearsplus" who crafted it...anyway, looked pretty cool.

What series trailer/dolly is that? Could you take a few more photos? That is really good looking.

too bad it looks like gomer pile took a knife to all my air lines and left me with nothing. I have to replace everything and try and see if the brakes want to work or not.

Mike, what kind of weight can the dolly handle? Would you trust it on the highway or is it just a yard dolly?
Bruce,
I used this to get my M117A trailer from North Carolina. Had no problem towing it back to NJ. I then gave it to Jude Meehan and he uses it for his office trailer without any problems. I wouldn't know the max weight it can carry but if you wanted to go bigger, I would mount it on an M200 gen trailer.
