I have a person that wants the trailer bed from my unused M105A2 trailer. Anyone know if 4 adult men can pick the bed up from the trailer frame and hoist it into the Deuce bed? Yes it is all relative to age and strength of the 4 men but the average group of 4 men
is where I have to go from. lol

Doubt it.

Use barrels and some long boards to hold it up while pulling out from under and pulling the deuce under it.

I mounted two 8 ft. 4 x 4 posts to the trailer bed where it formerly bolted to the frame.
I jacked it up at the rear to where it was 5 inches above the Deuce bed.
Used two come-a-longs and pulled it along the trailer frame and up into the truck.
Worked great.
Now if I can get somebody to take the axle and forward end of the frame I will not have to take it to scrap place.

I might buy the parts left.

You can have the parts for free but I would prefer to get rid of them in the next month. I am leaving Friday for about 8 days but you can get them
any time if you have help or I can help you up thru 09/23 or after 10/06 or so. I hate to throw away parts that could be used to help us as owner/operators.

Hi Jim, What all is left? Is the axle included? I need a second for future tandem project. Is the jack there? I expect it will be after you return, for PU. Thanks,

The nose landing gear is there and so is the dead-man leg in back. The axle is complete with brake cables and handles. Basically what he did was cut out the spring fittings section of the frame and leave the rest. Yes it has two tires and wheels on it so we can roll it on your trailer with ramps. The last 2.5 feet of the frame is there as well. The nose gear works really well and is not original for sure. Data plate is there and it has a clean TN title. Lunette ring there too along with safety chains.
