Thank you. Yes I am new here. This is a great forum, I'm glad I found it. I just picked this M416 up last week. Overall it's in really decent shape. I just need to remove about 4 layers of old paint and knock off some minor rust. I just ordered the original paint, etc.

There are some good solid threads around here on paint prep, and also finish work. But maybe you already know your stuff, and what you're doing.

Justin, where did you get your EET trailer? What kind of money does it cost? Looks ideal for hauling a small armored vehicle (Saracen MK6) that weighs 22K # behind my 5 ton!

Did you have another trailer to stretch the frame with or you use C channel?

That is a VERY inventive, and excellent home-grown adaptation.

How does the platform "work" (like, how does it breakdown and stow)?

I had a section of 105 frame that I used.

Thanks! The two side "wings" are hinged and fold onto the top of the main platform. The sections that go out over the tongue are attached with 1/2" carriage bolts and wing nuts. They stow underneath the main platform. I use just the bows in the stake pockets with a canvas tarp to cover it all during transport. My plan is to modify a 105 cover to use instead of the tarp.

That's some straight-grained good diameter lumber; that would mill up nice: tulip poplar?

M989 I'm getting ready to delve into brake repair on. Wheels turn freely with no air and the brake chambers are not caged. It was that way when we aquired it. Found one of the brake chamber brakets is broke off from the axle at the weld.
