I _thought_ it was a homemade trailer. But
then last week I saw it's twin. Anyhow, it is
_old_, was repainted bright yellow, lots of
bright yellow paint troweled onto it. So I'll go
look for tags, but not sure. Coming from
Minnesota rust belt, there is a great deal of
pitting on any flat surfaces - with, did I
mention, some thick yellow paint on it? ;) The
wood planking long, long ago rotted off. Most
of the bolts that held it on are 1/2 there - other
half rusted off...... There are no springs, it is a box beam pivot for
the tandems. It is a tilt bed. Not sure I really
see an 'axle' for a tag, as it looks like
something I would weld from box material and
4 short stub axles with the hubs for the duals. The hitch is a fair sized pintel bolted on the
front steel, perhaps I should know what the
pintel is rated at, but it's not obvious. Minnesota outlawed multiple tows. Then
farmers were allowed 2 hitch pins in most
cases, but no more. And the weekend wave of
folks who go camping 'up nort' were allowed
to tow a small boat behind their large camper
trailer. Because they have money & would
have kicked the lawmakers out of office.... I just want to see if I can get my BiL close
enough to be in the neighborhood of being
legal with the setup he has. I believe it is
actually impossible to comply with DOT laws,
but i'd like to see him at least have a chance to
talk his way out. ;) It doesn't so much affect
me, as I do not have licence to drive anything
with a trailer that big with a real licence plate.
Now if I remove the plate I can go 150 miles
with it as farm use if I claim I own it and as
long as I'm not on the interstate no one will
bother much..... These transport laws are something, aren't
they? :) Ok, it's late, what does DRW stand for? --->Paul

Today's Featured Article -
Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
