Hi everyone,
Yet another new No.5 trailer first time ex military owner! I am going to tow it behind my Landr̶o̶v̶e̶r̶cruiser 80 series. I have the rotating Nato Hitch. Also have a 12 pin Nato socket coming which I will install on the truck (nobody will be able to ask to borrow the trailer, "what a shame the plug wont fit your socket"
)
I thought I would post up some info on this one to update any databases.
Won this one from Grays in Brisbane 15.3.17, the Grays Auction sold it as ARN 173-436, however I believe someone somewhere messed up the paperwork as it has written in paint pen on the license plate holder and drawbar ARN 173-171 which I believe would be correct. Unfortunately no service record book.
ARN 173-171 makes it chassis number 1511.
Actual chassis number as stamped is 95 and tub number is 499. When I register it I will use 'ADI1511' as chassis number in case the chassis with 1511 stamped comes up.
I need to get a canopy bow made up, source a canopy and a spare wheel.
It came with the rear towing pin which I believe is pretty rare
If anyone has info on the unit serial number, the skull stencil and what 1AC means would be awesome!
I have a question for fellow QLD'rs who have filled in the self assessment form to register the trailer.
They ask for the axle rating (48mm diam axle + parallel bearings = 1600kg?)
Tow ball coupling rating ( I have been suggested 2250kg or 2500kg for lunette ring? Cant find this info anywhere)
and filling in the trailer measurements section would kind of make in unregisterable with the overhang from the rear tow point and stoplight bucket etc?
Just wondering what numbers others have used on the paperwork.

Sorry for the longish post and questions, but any and all help appreciated! If the answers are anywhere they definitely here.
Thanks Guys
