I did it again!!!

[citizensoldier]

Well to make a long story short I threw a sealed bid on a off road wagon in NC not ever thinking I would win and if I did for that price I would figure out how to get it home.. Well you know the answer I WON!
Being a card carrying Garden Gnome trailer HO I needed to ad this to my collection.. What for you ask??? Well maybe for a parade float full of vets?? Maybe a kick butt hay wagon? Maybe put some Belgium horses on the front and some Miller light on it...Or some big fat logs the next time I feel like playing Axe Man... I dont know but it is cool..
Anyone close to Cherry Point, NC ? I am lining up a trucker but you know how it goes with the EUC thing. Might have to get it off base for them to pick up at there leisure..

Perhaps you should have bought a few for an extended hayride.

It crossed my mind.. I threw low ball sealed bids on all 4 they had and ended up with the best one.. Go figure.. I have many uses for this type of trailer in my maple syrup adventures too. Heck you might see it with skis straped to the wheels behind a bobbed deuce all chained up..
Anybody here get one of the other ones??

Looks like an airport baggage cart. But it's got tactical lights and air brakes! What was the original use?

 

[citizensoldier]

Its a Marine Corp. application so who knows they have there own way of doing things.. Its a bit bigger than a airport baggage cart those are deuce rims and tires on it.. It is classified as a offroad wagon?? Looks about the same size as a big shelter for a deuce..

May be it was used when Hillary got of her plane in Bosnia, back in 96'. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2540811420080326

Would've been interesting if you'd got all 4. I can see the trailer train coming up I75 Now!

Deuce rims? I counted 5 lugnuts a rim, would that be a M37 rim?

 

[citizensoldier]

RE: Re: RE: I did it again!!!

I noticed that after the post.. I will go back and check the GL specs they give.. Might be M37 size rims..????

 

[Recovry4x4]

RE: Re: RE: I did it again!!!

They are from a 5 lug deuce. C'mon Dennis, you don't have any 5 lug deuces? I'm just waiting on someone to tell Lane he shouldn't be buying stuff in NC.

RE: Re: RE: I did it again!!!

Why not? I have bought lots of stuff in NC... Do tell...
A/ M32K-4 ROUGH TERRAIN FLAT BED TRAILER, SN-721160, MFG-DEVAL CORPORATION, TRAILER BED/ FRAME DOESN'T ATTRACT A MAGNET.
Thats all it gives under more info.. On one of the other listing it had a close up of the tires and I think it said 900/20.. Maybe it was 900/16.. That lisiting is gone now for some reason.

RE: Re: RE: I did it again!!!

Oh and many of the old big trucks were 5 lug rims??? Marmon Harrington rings a bell..

 

[Stretch44875]

RE: Re: RE: I did it again!!!

I could take a lugnut off each rim, would that work?

 

[citizensoldier]

A/ M32K-4A ROUGH TERRAIN FLAT BED TRAILER, MFG. NUMBER-0UY57, PN-67A219J1, 8000 POUND CAPACITY, TOW BAR BENT, FLAT TIRE, TRAILER BED/ FRAME DOESN'T ATTRACT A MAGNET.

Here are the other ones.. and the specs for them..

 

[citizensoldier]

This is even better yet!!! It will pull nice behind a M56 or M37... Cool man! cool!! I should have bid higher and got all 4! Darnit!

 

[citizensoldier]

another one

 

[Recovry4x4]

Doesn't attract a magnet? Hmmm! Lane, don't I recall someone scolding you telling you that you shouldn't be bidding on things and asking members to move them? I figured that guy would strike back.

 

[bigbee]

Except for the air brakes thing! Don't know if you'd want to tow a train of these without some way to stop them.

Luggage cart noo, but Cherry Point is an MCAS, so I would assume airfield cargo duty. and since the Marines can set up an airfield anywhere / anytime, the off road part could come in handy.

You go Lane! keep the transport guy happy so if I ever get the elusive M36.......................

Well I recall a Maddawg bitch session but thats it....... And I already have a trucker lined up to get it. Its just I want to put a back up plan in place because you never know when the EUC will clear and sometimes its hard to meet a truckers schedule when they have a one day a week pick up day. I have had many Steel Soldiers pick up stuff and always paid them what they wanted to do it. I have also moved tons of stuff for Steel Soldier members and never been compensated for it or only given enough to buy a piece of bubble gum.. It never hurts to ask and all people have to do is say no or not respond.. I have also facilitated deals on trucks accross the country for members only to take a loss just to save a truck from the scrapper... Why not isnt that one reason for this site is to help each other out? If I was close to a base I would move and store all kinds of stuff for people its just some of us with the disease live far from all of them..
