Mine also is missing a back tire as well as one head light. I can tell you for sure that it has more miles on it than the one I drive. I can rember spending hours and hours with that thing.

Ed I may do that. In fact I have a guy that wants the trailer. I just thought I would try it this way first. That way if someone from 3 or 4 states away wanted it they would have a way to get it home.
