I just read this on the 1/4 ton Trailer page:

"Landing Legs:
MBT landing leg has 3 positions (3 holes). There was a 1/2 way up position for deep mud use to help support weight of trailer in deep mud conditions.
M100 and M416 only had 2 positions for landing leg - up or down."



I had been thinking that the lunette on our new civilian Bantam was probably from an M100 because I had read that the WWII lunettes were smaller than later versions and ours looks larger than some I had seen on Bantam military trailers.

But, mine has 3 holes. Does that mean it is definitely from an MBT, or were there exceptions to this rule?

The hooks on mine are flat and have the letters "TH" stamped into the sides.

I'd like to know so that if I do decide to trade it off for a civilian hitch I can represent it correctly.

Kinda late on the response but...I have an M100 leg casting with three positions, thing is the center hole was added. The factory holes are nicely chamfered so look for a difference there, my added hole was drilled and not chamfered and pretty obvious.

Thanks for your reply. I just looked at mine. All 3 holes look the same: clean cut edges, no chamfering.
