Someone below mentioned removing jack and driving it on from the front- I've done that a couple times, and it worked fine- running the tractor up so the back tires of the tractor just touched the front of the trailer fenders made the weight distribution just about perfect, and the trailer followed along just fine. To do it, you'll need to block up the front corners (and the center, with a narrow front tractor), and use planks to get it on the trailer.
That being said, most car trailers have no more than 3,500# axles, giving you max of about 5,000# payload (trailer will weigh about 2,000#). So you'll be overloaded with the 70.

Check to see that you have 3,500# axles- if it is a light duty car trailer with lesser axles, don't even think about it.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
