M101 in Edmonton

Ok I just did the drive to Edmonton and pulled back a M101 CND trailer.

The place that has a whole bunch is called West ed equipment.

I bought mine for 800 canadian.

The serial numbers these things came in I think went up to a max of 2000. I bought serial number 1200. So he has some pretty high ones there.

Also there are some older ones too. The one I got was darn near never used.

They tow excellent. I towed it back behind a 77 300d Mercedes. 1200 kms home with it.
Not too mention 1200 there. A round trip of 2400...

The tires were close to brand new on mine. here's some pics....

Nice find BB,I wouldnt mind one myself.What do they weigh?I guess they cant be too bad if a diesel merc can pull one home
(are those 300D always so noisy?I was next to one on sat and couldnt hear myself think)

I cant remember what the local military trailers were like here,probably a Sankey by GKN

Check this site out for information on your new M101CDN trailer http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/M101CDN/

Ya thanks, I have seen that site.

The weight is around 775 pounds. Not bad for a Merc to pull. Yes I think they are all pretty noisey but I am sure some new exhaust and better muffler would make it a bit better. Also add some sound deadening to the inside of the hood area and firewall.

But I just drive it. It's ok on fuel and very smooth on rough highways.,

Rosco, that trailer looks similar. Standard Jeep military trailer.
