Tony,
Yep, always the way! And the numbers were always awkward to stamp in that space anyway, hence some 'miss-hits'. I'll check both numbers against the FMC 8cwt trailers I have listed and get back to you next week. Mike C |

Hi Richard - Mike
Richard. You are right of course, at the end of the day it is still me that will have to be happy and Mr General Public will not know anyway. ![]() Mike. I really appreciate you spending time to assist me. That is what I have come to enjoy being a member of MLU. I hope you have a great day on the river. ![]() Once I have finalised the trailer restoration and the final choice of painting I will place a photo of the finished project on the thread. So watch this space. ![]() Cheers Tony ![]()

Tony, you may or may not know, but there is a Jeep Trailer Register started by fellow MLUer Ian Fawbert:

Tony,
Back in the office and done some checking: The chassis numbering of the Ford-manufactured No.4 trailers was a straight number sequence, so the number you gave - 1712 - does conform to a Ford No.4 chassis number, while 'JT12' conforms to the Ford numbering system for their No.3 and 3A trailer manufacture. Sorry to have confused things earlier. Anyway, checked the number '1712' and found it in my trailer notes. It had the ARN 166778. It was disposed of in the immediate post-WW2 period, so you are very lucky to have found it in such great condition. As to paint colour, it would have originally been delivered in the standard Khaki Green No.3 (second version), so to be authentic, that's the colour to use, along with the ARN in white numerals, 3 to 3.5 inches high, with the width of the lines making up the numerals all 1/2 inch wide. But as I said earlier, it's your trailer & your choice. We await news (at completion) of your final choice. ![]() Regards Mike C |
