Rob,
I believe you said you wanted to see M-10 Data plates.
These are not for sale...
I have a different load plate on my other M-10 which I will get off and shoot pictures of.
The load plates appear to be made of lead.

Yep, I did.... thanks Bill, those are the two I have. Do you have a rear pintle... can you take some good photos so I know what I am hunting for?
Mine is also a Schelm Brothers - 1944
Thanks,
Rob

Hi does any one have the Black out light switching box, or the switch, and I am also in need of the cast iron ring that you pull to get the lunette to swivel. Can any one help? Thanks Tim

Thanks again Bill, those are the best things as far as research materials is concerned that I could hope for. I may be able to guess what size they are from the things around them and on my halftrack most things were close to some hole inch measurement (5" 5 1/2" 6" 6 1/2" etc.). But am I dreaming to hope someone may have one of these for sale? Thanks Tim

Tim....
The dimensions of the box are on the webpage
http://www.cckw.org/m10_technical.htm
The large hole is for the standard trailer plug female fitting used in WWII. The small hole is the diameter of the switch.
I will see if I can get the latch handle off my M-10 trailer #2. If I can you can use it as a template....

Were the yellow dimensions there all along? I can't believe I missed that, I must be blind.
Thanks again Bill If I could borrow the cast ring lunette release thing I would be very grateful. I would make a silicon mold and pour a plastic one then I have to increase it dimensionally 5% so when the molten metal cools the new one will be the same size. Thanks Tim

The one that I restored first came with Military highway tires. I have left those on the trailer...for now.
The other 2 had bastard replacement tires on them.
I have a set of 900/20 NDT's on Combat rims that are awaiting painting for trailer #2.
I know both were used. My opinion is that the NDT's look more "Combatish"
