Hello to all who love those beautiful CMP's
I only found the forum today and I have already learnt more today about CMP's than I have in the last 20 years.Now I have a question about my 10cwt trailer does anyone have a picture or diagram of how the lunette/pintle ring is held into the cast housing.My lunette has a slot in the shaft about two thirds toward the rear of the shaft I assume this has something to do with a retainer of some sort.I bought my trailer at a farm auction about 15 years ago reasonably complete, but the farmer had removed the lunette and replaced it with a civilian ball coupling.I have most of the original coupling but need to know how to put it back together.When purchased the trailer had an old transfer of an anchor with the letters RN above or below it,so I guess the Royal Navy used to carry spare torpedo's in it behind a destroyer or something.
Cheers Ken
