I think at least two of them are tow adapters, the one with the pintle is an extension, maybe for a tracked vehicle? Nice haul on the blocks, they come in handy!
Great looking machine and it runs. How did you run up on such a unmolested beauty. All the ones I have seen have been Bubbarized by the power company or some shade tree mechanic!
Of the two wreckers I have the 936 is faster and easier to handle but when it comes to maint. issues and ease of maint./repairs the M543A2 comes out way ahead, a simple, robust and just great all around machine!
Once I get some repairs done and a new tire on it the trailer will pay for itself in six months, I am renting a storage locker for $50 a month. With this new little trailer that is going away and I will have 24 hour access!
Mine is a 3/4 ton with a 8 foot bed, I don't know how low it is geared but if I run it over 45 miles an hour my fuel use drops to about 4 miles a gallon???

I picked up a RR rebuilt M818 a few years ago, no miles and I made it to the front gate (1.8 miles) when the oil cooler let go! They forgot one of the o rings! Then last year I picked up a RR M923A1 fresh out of rebuild and it has been perfect! It's just a toss of the dice!!!
If you are not using your local forestry equipment auctions as a source for your green addiction you are missing out! I won a really nice M448 van trailer today for less than the cost of a replacement set of tires for it! I have been watching this trailer for a year or so and last week it...
