DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS
The M796A1 bolster trailer is identical to the M796 except that it has a new support assembly (landing
gear) with dual wheels; a new axle, hub, and drum assembly; and an antirotation bracket and anti-
chafing shield to prevent snagging of air and electrical lines when the reach tube is extended and
retracted.
