jeeper, what is your real name?

As for a trailer manual, here's a lead:

Hope this helps,

I'm searching about the following part for the trailer:

- the '' T '' ( for trailer ) with the reflectors fixed on the rear of the body from the trailer , also if copy's exist...
- thank's a lot, Marc

[jeeper1]

- all the brake parts I found on the 10 CWT GS trailer are from Ford Canada ( all marked ) and paint in canadian brown
- the body is paint in green OD
- what kind of color is the right one for this trailer ?
- thank's for your help, Marc

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Hi Marc,

"Canadian brown", or actually British(!) Standard Camouflage Colour (S.C.C.) no.2 was in use from early 1942 until early 1944 as the base tone for vehicles. I'd paint it in that colour, alternatively, if you like green better make sure you use S.C.C. no.15 Olive Drab instead of the U.S. Olive Drab. For more info see http://www.mafva.org.uk/Resources.asp

The attached pic shows you trailer, right?

Regard,
Hanno

Who can help Marc to identify and/or provide these parts?

Brake cylinder?

This must be a piece of cake for LWD parts...

Or a slice of Apple Pie for Mac's Auto Parts who have these wheel cylinders listed as 91A-2261 and 91A-2262 for L/R for 39-48 passenger car.

Dirk, are you sure those are the correct ones? As far as I can tell from Marc's pictures the brake cylinders are 1-1/8" x 1".

Hello Hanno;

- yes you're right, these are not the same one
- they must have on the left side 1'' and on the right side 1''1/8

- I'm waiting on an answer from Mac's Auto Parts
( thank's to Tony )

- I also need the left and right hand hub bolts
- thank's a lot, Marc

Hanno we sell F8 wh. cylinders to several early Ford passenger cars owners.
When the wh.cyl. picture and part code for the trailer says no good, OK jammer !

Dirk, I'm not saying the F8 wheel cylinders are not the correct ones, just that they seem to differ from the ones Marc took off his trailer.

Who has a parts list for the Canadian 10-cwt trailer?

Hanno,

I do not have a Canadian 10 cwt parts list, but do have one for the 15cwt. In that one they show the wheel cyls as the number that Tony quotes, ie C91T-2261, but they actually use the same cylinder on left and right sides, unlike on the car. Piston sizes are equal so not the same as the cylinder fitted to the 10 cwt trailer, assuming it is correct of course.
As for the oil seal I would go to a supplier and get a modern one, but tip here is to measure it in Inches as that would be its original spec, there may not be a metric equivalent, they tend to run in two ranges, either Imperial or Metric in this country.
