Gordon_M Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Just picked this up. It was bought from Thomson and Doxey in Southport, north of England, about twenty years back and that owner couldn't find a use for it. ... it's about 18" long, 8" wide, and 7" high, weighs no less than 50lbs, maybe as much as 60. Mounts on four 3/4" holes on 4" by 4" centres, and has " ORD-D 76899 " cast onto the bottom ? face. I'd guess from the mounting lugs on the rear face that they slot into either very thick plate or armour. Only thing I could come up with would be for some sort of big towed artillery piece, but it could be for a plain trailer, so I'm posting this here. Any ideas?

T corbin Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 From a M 5 Bomb trailer ( can be turned round to lower to connect to another trailer Or to a high position to connect to the towing vehicle T CORBIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks Tony, that looks like it. Now, should I use it for my two ton rail trailer or keep it stock in case I ever find an M5? Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
