Don't make it worse than it is(according to my wife) I only have two of these! I think the other trailer is a mid 60s build, I think. It looks like the trailer with the large D rings was made to haul heavy/bulk equipment where as the second trailer is made more for using with the side boards...
Thanks Torisco, Indy4X4fab how do you keep it from inching right or left in the mount? It looks like the handles will stop it after a short distance or does it move at all, I have one of those and it one heavy boy too move, I have an extra pair of feet and they heavy alone.

I have been using my 818 for flat tow recoveries recently and hauling the tow bar is way to exciting an experience! Has anyone built a carry for a towbar for a 818, there is room behind the cab. I just need a mount of some kind?
This last trailer has the small tie down type connectors, my other trailer(both M127A2C's) has large D ring type tie downs, anyone know why the two different tie-downs?

Thanks
It's not just the government cutting them up, I took a ride to Camp Shelby to have a look and drove through a town call Purvis Miss. and they were cutting them up there as well, tires winches and the like laying around, but most going for scrap weight. If anyone is down that way the tires...
I have comprehensive through Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Co.on my M818 and M813 no mileage limit and no need to store inside for $136 a year for the pair.
So anyone using anything other than a diesel and motor oil mix to treat their decking? I am thinking about pressure washing mine first and them hosing it down with the diesel/oil mix. Some one once told me if you saturate the wood with water then heated it while applying pressure you could...
