No 27 Limber

[Richard Hughes]

Hi Everyone I have just bought a 25 pounder limber and trying to get it home just one minor issue I don't have a wheelbase size to put it on a trailer. Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Including the side bulge of the tires, 81.5 inches wide.

If your trailer is not wide enough, you can undo the drawbar at the limber (8 bolts). The drawbar with brake actuator will pop off and you can load the limber onto even a puny 4x8 trailer, or a north American 8 foot pickup box, sideways.
Sorry, I don't work in metric yet.

Great minds think alike. How did you get it on there? Lots of jockeying or did you use a loader of some kind.

I ma not an expert about colours, but I think a brand new factory fresh quad would not match a fractory finish limber (I think the limber would match the gun). On the other side the first repainting in a field shop would cover it all in 1 shade

Hi Yes ended up a mixture of brute force , pure ignorance and a small hand winch to get the limber on to the trailer.

Paint wise the limber is 1939(at least that what the plate says) and my quad is 44 so will probably end up going down the plain green route

Is that like the yellow brick road (for desert camo) ?
