Old Military Trailers

[BBeck]

Hi Brent:



I assume this was at a local government auction correct?

 

[BHenn]

Yes, thru Gov Liquidations.

Just found it, thanks



None in my state at this time. Looking forward to hearing your experience of it later this month.

Sorry for the delay. I have now had the trailer at home for about two weeks. It turned ot to be in better shape than I had anticipated. Pulls great! I have since pulled off all the wood rails and refinished. The paint on the wood was flaking off and looked bad. Looks brand-new now, the wood. I still have to do the same to the bows. As far as the trailer body, I am still trying to decide how to refinish it on a budget; no sand-blasting and no access to a paint sprayer. I may just clean it up and go at it with a rattle can. I may just leave it as is, with the exception of needing to cover up the "DRMO" red paint on the front of trailer. Overall I am very happy with the trailer. It is an absolute brute!

Beautiful 1/4 ton there!



Tires will fail? As in blow out??? I just got back from a trip this weekend, towed at 70-75MPH. It pulled so smooth it was hard to tell it was back there. Am I risking a blow out with these tires?
