$1300
Every theing looks OK, wheel bearings good and well greased
needs some deck work but I'll get to that and have to do something about the lack of visibility of those ramps on a dark night, all black against a black night, good way to get rearended
But, tags before starting on all that.

I second Warren's question because I'll be looking for one stout enough for my M, too.

Warren & Gary; yes the M37 will fit, trailer deck length is 17' (204") and the M is 184" 3/4" bumper/bumperettes.

Trailer has a 10,000 # capacity and with an M37 weighing in at 6050 # empty it should be OK but the dump truck is to light to pull that much safely.
