Application
Suitable for 1/4 ton military trailers such as the Willys MBT, Bantam T-3 and later M100/M416 variants. The pivot forms the hinge point on which the landing leg can be folded up during travel and folded down for support when parked.
Installation notes
The pivot is secured to the trailer chassis using the supplied pin. The landing leg then mounts into the pivot, allowing it to rotate 90 degrees between the stowed (horizontal) and deployed (vertical) position. Check fit and movement before final installation.
Compatibility
Fits most 1/4 ton trailer variants. Please note: versions exist with either two or three mounting holes. Check your original pivot to ensure you order the correct version.
Historical context
The 1/4 ton trailers were produced in large numbers during WWII by Willys-Overland (MBT) and Bantam (T-3). The folding landing leg was a clever design that enabled the trailer to be quickly unhitched and parked stably, whilst the leg was stowed away during transport.
