M-416B pictures

Got a recent post on the Bantam Trailer List and explored the URL to find more info on this guys M-416B.

My Military unit had 60 plus M-416s when I first enlisted and we had 3 Jerry Cans mounted on the back of each trailer. This site shows a bracket that was welded on the side. Does anyone know if this was standard on the 416B Air Lift Trailers or someones very nicely done mod?

 

the M416B1 was the USMC version for pulling behind the Mighty Mite.

I think there were 'regular' versions of the M416 with just the lift rings, no jerry can mounts. Not sure if it had a specific model number :?

Mike,

I don't believe this is a shade tree mod on the B1 models. That bracket looks to well engineered. I've never seen lift rings on any other model 416 either, and from a little quick research I do believe these two mods and the mity mite wheels/6.00 X 16 NDTs are about the only mods that differ a 416/416A1 from a 416 B1 and of course the surge brakes.

I'll have to see if a TM is still available or if its on my trailer CD at work.
