Looks like one of these new ones I saw at FT. Sill, I would rather have one of the self propelled kind, you wouldn't be looking for a lift all the time.
The last Deuce I got from the ARNG had antifreeze in the front tires, and I have used antifreeze in tractor tires for years, even when I worked for the USDA in college we used straight antifreeze in everything for weight and balance.
I bought eight of the 24 volt units from Ted's, all were in good shape and have been running great, it's been over a year since I got mine so, I don't know if he still has them, but they were good folks to work with.

MWM:
I had a good look at your trailer last week, it is in very good condition, and it looks like all of the parts are there, canvas is a little rough but a very nice buy. I may be going by there tomorrow if you need anything looked at or done, let me know.

I am going to look at an M813 with 12K showing on the odometer, I am going to take a couple of batteries to see if it will turnover, it has been out of service at least two years so anything in particular I should look out for? On my 818 fuel leaks are a big problem is it the same with the...
You got a tool trailer at hooks? They run hot and cold down there with loading, but I would take air tank in case a tire is low, if you call they may be able to tell you of any defects so you can plan ahead. They are friendly enough but for them this is just work not a hobby.
Depends on the site and the day! At Shelby a soldier help me load the trailers with a 20k forklift, at Hooks a GL employee sat on a forklift while I winched two M105 up on my car hauler, they wouldn't even help me pull it our of the line of trailers! So it just depends on the location.
For anyone interested I have run up on a copy of manual for the tool trailers, a lot of it covers the individual tools but it does cover some of the trailer layout. If you want a copy PM me.

I had a local guy changing mine out for $12 each, took him about ten minutes a tire, problem is a month or so ago he was working on his stock car and set a can of ether down on his battery, it looks like he will be out for 3-4 months, so I may try some myself.
I found the two Winch Propeller shafts at a local junk yard, he had dozens of shafts but these were the only two that were OD and look usable to me. The smaller one I am pretty sure fits my M37 I am hoping the larger one(57 inches Long) will work in my Deuce, can anyone ID it?
