CFR Request Thread

[Craig S.]

...I would like the CFR and Hisotry of my latest aquisition if at all possible.

1995 Kawasaki KLR250 Vin JKALMD15SA080168.

Here are some screen shot pics in .pdf format. Interestingly enough the last time I saw this bike was about November of 2002 while posted to 2VP. Three KLR's were being turned in for disposal at that time. Even before I looked up the info I knew where this bike had been...Cheers,

Craig

P.S.- You will notice maintenance records seem to have been using the same date frequently starting in 1995. Someone must have been asleep at the wheel I would guess...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with the history of my Iltis. The serial number is BI01058688761.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Greg

Hi Greg -

I've got all the info for your Iltis. However - I have to break it all into smaller size bites due to the attachment restrictions on our postings. It will be converted to a .pdf format as well later tonight hopefully. Time to get the chicken off the BBQ right now though. Cheers,

Craig

Greg -

Here it is in three parts & 49 different screen shots. Iltis info is normally plentiful - they were always in for maintenance - aha-ha-ha. Cheers,

Craig

Info for my M101CDN2 Trailer, please:
M101CDN2, Serial Number 0917, CFR 36221

I will look tomorrow. It may take longer for me to get an answer unless I luck out. There are about 2000 of these trailers (I'm guesstimating) that individually need to have each file opened to check for a matching serial number. Hopefully the CFR and serial numbers were assigned in order numerically. As I've seen from other motorized CFR'd equipment, that is not the case however. Trailers may be different. As well I would suggest that if you find a 5 digit number marked on your trailer (or even 3 digit - as in the CFR's last three digits) in marker, chalk, pencil crayon, etc., that may be part of your trailers CFR. As mechanics and supply pers we sometimes mark parts ordered for a specific vehicle or trailer so that repair part would be put on to the item it was ordered for. Marking the CFR of the equipment onto the ordered part quickly identifies it when that new part is sitting amongst a pile of parts on the shelf awaiting install. So if you find a 5 or 3 digit number on say a pintle hitch, wheel or park brake handle - it may be a clue to finding that needle in a 2000 piece haystack....Cheers,

Craig

By what I could see the trailers were all over the place for CFRs. Some were around the 16000 range, some were much higher. With the speed of searches here, it was impossible for me to find Brad's.

What I have noticed though, was that the CFRs (and serials somewhat) seemed to grouped together by where the trailer's were issued. So if you know from which base or area the trailer came from, it can be compared to other trailers from that area with a known CFR.

I bought 28 of these trailers from one unit and they were all pretty much in sequence CFR wise. Serials were reasonably tight, although they did span several hundreds overall.

Craig is right on the money about the 5, or possibly 3 digits. They were often grease pencilled under the license plate.

The one trailer 0033 was purchased here in Western Canada (B.C specfically)
It has ben repainted by the previous owner. So there is no chance of finding any markings on it.

The other Trailer 1149 I will look over tommrow for any scribbles. It came from Southern Ontario.
