Hello guys.

I have see on primeportal the two pics of the M1000 Trailer with larger tires. What is mean with this: '.....modified with the larger tires off of the old 767 series HET trailers in the entire US Army' ? I didn't know of any older Het series??

The older HETT series was the M911 C-HETT. It was used in the late '80s and throughout the '90s. It used a the M747 60-ton trailer, a civilain heavy-haul trailer made by Talbot Corp. (I think it was).

M911 C-HETT


The trailer did have bigger tires, but I don't know if they would even fit an M1000 trailer.

Not sure about Talbert, but the Consolidated Diesel Electric Co. built M747 trailers :
