[SEL] OT - opinion on trailer

[Bill Dickerson]

Here's some photos of my current trailer. It's a 5 ton winch (as opposed to
a wench)

I'm hoping to find someone who would trade or something, but may end up
going through a dealer, I suppose, or selling then buying.

All new wheel bearings and tires in 2005.
Took it to Reading PA in 07 to pick up my Eagle. Follows really nicely.
Hellish heavy equalizer, too

Bill,

I had looked into refurbishing my utility trailer engine hauler by removing
the
mobile home axle and replacing it with one or two modern torsion axles.

I concluded it wasn't worth the effort and bought a Big Tex 7000 lb 18-foot
car
hauler trailer.  http://www.bigtextrailers.com/

I'm delighted with it.  You should look into one; they're really well built.

See ya,  Arnie
