At a local auction last Saturday, I placed 3 proxy bids
on 3 M416 trailers. I looked them over rather quickly on
Thursday. Each was painted a fire engine red for the fire
department. One had a drop mesh tailgate added, one had a
generator installed, and last one looked untouched. Each
had working parking brakes, tongue stand, military tires,
held water (raining), lunette tongue and round 6-plug
wire connector. I won the best condition one! But after
reviewing a lot of trailer pages, I think that they are a
different model M416 as I recall a rather long tub to
them. Once I get back from vacation, I'll investigate a
little further. I do recall and have noted M411 as a
number on the ID tag. It was raining rather hard and I
wasn't prepared for the weather when I looked at them. I
basically gave them a rating when I bid. Is there
different models of the M416 style trailers? All were
dated 1967/1968.
There was also a military dump (M35?) and a M715 which
had seen better days. I wanted to get the M715, but the
wife insist that I make amends with the city and
neighbors first. So I'm working on that. The M715 needed
lots of TLC and currently the garage and driveway are
full.
What this is all about is the M105A2 trailer I have. The
M715 would be nice in front of it. But the neighbors with
the city behind them want the trailer out of the
neighborhood. I've supposedly sold it and will close the
sale when I return. He's a lister here. The M416 trailer
should be more accepted...(?)
