No, each trailer had an individual photo or three, the lot number was in large white numbers on the trailer bed or landing leg, clear to see in each photo. There were only about eight or so flatbed trailers up for bid. I think mine was the only one with the two tool boxes still attached, i...
I think I came out better for the first time on a GL deal, the trailer I won, had the tool boxes but no spare tire and you could tell from the photos it was a little scuffed up and tan! This trailer is in premo condition, one reflector is crushed and the rest as it should be. Even with me...
I really like the trailer and it will be a great addition to the wrecker, with all the predrilled holes in the trailer bed I may set it up with the "new" compressor, along with making a quick mount for a gen. set and welder along with a tool box I will be ready for anything! I have to try...
The trailer ID tag shows 352lbs on the tongue, it felt like a good deal more weight than that. I used one of the leg jacks to raise the lunette, one was enough since my drivers side front leg will not roll down for some reason?

I want to use the trailer with my 5 ton wrecker, now when I pick up something I have somewhere to put it! I loaded the compressor on the rear of the trailer to help out the trucks load leveler, it sounded like it was having a hard time raising the tongue to level, the compressor helped...
Made it to Hooks right on time, traveled across the base to find my trailer and no trailer, they had given my trailer with the tool boxes still on it to someone else and no more trailers with boxes were available!!!! They are so strict on not moving a step without some one with you and then...
JBK:
I got the receiver hitch from etrailers.com the lower ball/pintal hitch I picked up at Tractor Supply. They have a lot of trailer parts way cheaper than RV shops.

Bjorn:
In that thread we were looking for manuals on a small 3kw diesel airforce gen set. It is much smaller than the 5 or 10kw units, if you are talking about the one on wheels, I am pretty sure that is a 1.5kw cover.

I was worried about strength but the guys at etrailers said it was good for well over the 9K limit i haul, the lower pintal has the ball combination that really helps on the non military hauling.

Sorry I have three 715s screaming for the black out light guard! The old guy had a pickup bed full of odds and ends parts he had cleaned out of a shed he had, the pistol and bayonet were from his closet! I would have gotten a couple of other interesting parts/small machines but I wasn't sure...
Is this chain what you are talking about being a wrecker chain. I saw it yesterday hanging off a pickup bed as I was heading home from the Petit Jean MV show, the guy made me a package deal I couldn't refuse, this being laid off sucks, he had a super 1903 for $400 I couldn't swing.
On the...
I use a set whenever I tow, the photos above are me pulling the 105 out of the mud up to high ground so I could pull the cover off and add the lights. The troopers here are pretty good about leaving anything military alone, as long as you don't get too stupid and invite a visit!

Picked up my M105 down in Little Rock this week, one down eight to go, a big box trailer in Little Rock, a 5 ton flat bed at Hooks, four M105s at Hooks and the two enclosed 105 at Hooks, I hope gas prices don't rise over the next three weeks!

PS: The M105 rides pretty level behind the...
I was only able to make a short visit to the MV show at Petit Jean State Park but there was a fair showing of small and large MVs from WWII to Vietnam and beyond.
