Maverick Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 hooks on 1/4 ton trailer are flat , on 1 ton they are round and thicker. Thanks for the information, the reason why I'm asking is that a friend of mine wants to tow a jeep trailer behing his Dodge WC and the chains arnt long enough on the trailer so we are thinking of trying Ben Hur chains, so the next question is how long are the Ben Hur chains and will the thicker hook fit on the eye on the dodge???

Maverick Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Can some measure the length of the chains on their jeep trailer and then we can see where we are going wrong ?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_bish Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 would the chains on an M101A1 be the same as the Ben Hur? I can measure on Saturday if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoranWC51 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Here are pictures of the Ben Hur lunette and hook/chains as attached to my July 1943 Willys MBT 1/4t trailer. I want to exchange those for a setup for the WW2 1/4t trailer, if anyone has them for trade. Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
