Need T4E1 Dimensions

Post by m37-man » Sat Nov 22, 2014 6:41 pm

Bubba torched the lunette eye off my T4E1 drawbar.

What is the inside diameter of the lunette?

What is the diameter of the lunette ring?

Will try to look up credit for these drawings. I was given them by a guy at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds Museum.

The dimensions are a little different than Robins but very close to being the same.

What material was used to make the eye assembly? Cast iron? Machined? I don't have access to any close up pics of the end piece. Mine is missing. These diminsional drawings are excellent! Thanks for sharing.

The fitting connecting the T4E1 drawbar and handle is a casting which includes the lunette eye. The handle is held in by a pin so it can be removed if the cart is horse drawn. These would be unobtanium at this point, I will see if I can post some photos of an original one from the 2016 MVPA Convention in Pleasanton.
