Is the gen. trailer 3/4 ton or 1 1/2 ton?

I think the trailer is classified as 3/4 ton, although the plate says it can handle a full ton. I expect that Mark can give better information.

So Mark, your trailer is now in the capable hands of Scott. You may be pleased to know that when Scott plugged the trailer into his deuce, all the lights worked correctly.

p.s. Scott runs Ethan's former deuce on a mix of stale gasoline and used motor oil, with the oil accounting for a little more than half of the volume. It doesn't smoke badly enough to be annoying and the fuel is free from a local marina.

 

[scooter01922]

Yup, trailer worked just fine on its short trip behind the deuce. It is indeed a 3/4 ton trailer for anyone thats wondering. Current batch of oil/ gas is almost gone, from now on all my free fuel will be coming from an even better source......lets just say the oil is all from REALLY nice cars with low usage between changes. The gas and oil blend is running really well so far have to see how it works out this winter when things get really cold.

P.S. I even snapped a few quick pics that i will have to post up tomorrow.

Ma to Me

Mark;

I need to go to Ma. to pick up some axles. If you get it to Ma. I could bring it the rest of the way. I live in Alexander. HAM call KB1HXC on the cooper 330.

The trailer is currently located in salisbury MA. Set something up with mark and i'll gadly meet you somewhere to swap it off for the next leg of its journey. Its still hooked to the deuce from its tow into the parking area.

 

[Skip]

I will be going to Ma. on the 29th-31st in Jan. Can I tow it with my 1/2 ton pick up?

 

[scooter01922]

Hopefully it gets moving a bit quicker than late january. Don't want it to get snowed in too badly. I think the data tag has the weight at 750 lbs empty or somewhere about that. If you have a pintle hitch handy then i see no issue.

 

[patch]

Scott, might want to check that again- M101 empty should be closer to 1400 lbs. Still shouldnt be a problem with a 1/2 ton pickup though....

 

[scooter01922]

Oops, I certainly could be wrong. Can't say i looked it over that well Just kinda gave it the quick once over before i parked it.

 

[m38inmaine]

Trailer should be just over 700lbs, it's the flatbed gen set trailer. Thanks skip, will make contact closer to the time of departure.
