[DennyG.]

Hello friends I need your help I bought a trailer but there is no nameplate, the frame and the spring suspension are Willys not Bantam I found the frame number. Can someone tell me when this was made, the number is 14026

this was repaired in Böblingen Ordnace Rebuild Shop with the number 2838 can someone give me information about it.

Thank you, my English isn't the best, sorry

Hello Denny

[sjalbert]

Your English is fine. Photo's if you have them would help with trailer ID.

Hello frends,

her are pics from Frame








greetings Denny

[sjalbert]

That ACM number is 934 higher then the ACM number on my Oct 1942 MBT so yours is likely from Oct (or possibly Nov) 1942

Hi

tow pics from the chain







bey Denny thank you for the help

[sjalbert]

Those wedges & hooks look original

[DennyG.]

Yes, almost all parts are original. I'll take pictures of the rest of the parts and number soon

Thank you very much for the help

PS: an exact day when this was produced can't be determined?
Was the month/year or day/month/year on the nameplate?

grettings Denny

[sjalbert]

Both of my Willys MBT's just have month / year on their original data plates.

Thank you

Hello Denny

Denny,

I have a small database of trailers (chassis numbers, serial and D.o.D.

Willys MBT ACM# 13092 serial (on dataplate) 10968 date of delivery 10--42 and etimated registration number U.S.A. 0168533
Willys MBT serial number 11020 is also from 10--42
Willys MBT ACM# 16099 serial 13021 is from 11--42 and has registration number U.S.A. 0168843


So between 13092 and 16099 are 3000 in difference on the ACM number and only 300 on the U.S.A.
A strange incline of numbers, but there are more "random" changes in number series.


Hope it helps

[DennyG.]

Thanks four your Help
