m313 questions

[reb87]

I was high bidder on a m313 trailer and am wondering if there is provision for a pintle hitch on the back like my m447 has? I cant see anything in the gl pic but I thought they were based on the same chassis.

I had an M313 and I don't believe they ever had a pintle hitch in the rear. I suppose you could mount one, though. I liked my trailer, but many of them have water damage where the sides were not (or could not be) properly shut. That was the case with my old trailer.

From the book:
The M295A1 Chassis, used with all of the van bodies mentioned in this manual, is a 6-ton, 4-wheel vehicle equipped with the following:
8. A pintle located at rear for towing purposes.
That being said I don't see one on your trailer. Wayne

A lot of trailers went cheap in Lansing. I was high bidder on a M146 but let it go at $353 because I need to pay for my M151.
