M818 is real handy. M819 only can pull trailers that are set up like the M270. (narrow nect, forward pin set) or some pintle trailers but not all. the M819 is a strange bird.

Dave P,

Did you pick that up from Lansing, and is it from the 107th Engineers?

Dave,
You were in Lansing and did not stop in and say HI! and let me buy you a coffee? tisk tisk!

Nice trailer(s), are you sure your pole building is big enough now since you almost doubled it from your initial size?

Regards,

Officailly called a "DODAC" (pronounced doh-dack). Department of Defence Accounting Center. Easier to read when shipping than something like "507ENG46GP177MP" or "CoC1/125INF38INf"

Ted, trailer was picked up by a friend. the one with the Duece tractor.

I dont know about the barn being big enough but it is being built with expansion in mind!

David:
You can find out a lot about that trailer using the DODAAC which stands for Department of Defense Activity Address Code Each unit has a unique one and the equipment is tracked by that code. It sure is nice to have a wrecker to set those sideboards cause they weigh a ton and I struggled for hours setting mine and nearly got take off the trailer by them several times. I built mine into a high top so I could store stuff in there for the two years I would be in Korea. I hope the squirrels are not making a big mess of it.

Congrats Dave, that's one nice looking trailer! Are the side racks fiberglass? Looks like it in the pictures. Never knew they were made like that.

The original side boards on these trailers was very dense mahogany. I have a few of those on my trailer and years ago at the DRMO in Fort Hood we got a few of them and made some nice furnature out of the boards.
