mlvw trailer leg M104 CND3 and other info needed

Back to your original questions: the plug that will attach to the trailer is an amphenol plug number 60-4266-23P. (Also listed as a 60-04266-23P) The trailer plug mounted on the frame is an amphenol 60-42022-23S.

Any idea of what year the manac trailers came out there isint a year anywhere on it it does have the old Firestone tires on it so I'm thinking some where early 80's is there any where to find a manual on it?

All of the trailers (and the MLVWs for that matter) came with the old split rims and goodyear tires. In the early 2000s, some of the tires out east started blowing apart due to corrosion, so it was a fleet-wide changeover in the end to the new style rims and tires. At one point, everything was grounded until the rims and tires got changed.

The Manacs should be 1983/84 period if I recall, while the kitchen trailers were 1985. The DEW trailers were in the latter half of that decade I think. A check of CFRs will tell the years of acceptance.

There is a manual: C30846000/MS000. It is available electronically to DND users.

out of curiousty, the MSVW, and LSVW trailers appear to be about the same size ..are they?

I guess you know of my saga of trying to buy "flexible rope" ie the rubber tarp cord.. would that be the same size for both trailers (ie 7mm) ?

(Thanks to UPS and failure to communicate..Im out about $90 and no cord)

Iltis trailer cord is a bit thicker (8mm??) and wouldn't fit.

The Manac M101 trailers date from 1981 and yes the DEW trailers are from the last half of the decade. DEW manufactured M104CDN4s in 1987, 1988 and 1989 although they are considered to all be 1987. As Rob stated the M102CDN3 Modified Kitchen Trailers (another Manac product) date from 1985.

.

Nope. The 1.5 ton trailers are longer and wider. The LSVW trailers are nearly identical in size to the old M101 3/2 ton trialers. When we were getting rid of the 3/4 ton trailers, I saved a couple of the security cages and we moved them onto the new LSVW trailers....perfect fit and the same tarpaulin.

Does the CF supply chain still get new tarps? (for the SMP-lsvw trailers)
If so where or who is mfg?
Same for the "flexible rope" (the rubber cord)

[rob love]

The CF would still get tarps. For years they were from GMA, but it has now wound down. A half dozen other companies have moved in to replace them. Armtech and Breton are just a couple.

Perhaps for your cord you should try again along with some better communication.
