4 wheel CMP GS trailer

I went to the local auction yesterday, and after looking over the stuff I was interested in, I took a stroll through the farm machinery. I usually do this just to look for farm implements which have been built using cmp compnents, like hubs, tires, axles etc. So yesterday I spotted this:

At first, I thought that it was just a mixture of butchered cmp trailers, but after looking closer, I figured that the chassis was in fact a fairly unaltered 2 or 3 ton 4 wheel GS trailer. The master cylinder has been removed, but all the brake lines are intact. It has had a large fuel tank added to the back, along with a large locker and a pump. The tank contained diesel, which helped preserve some portions underneath, but disintegrated things like the tail light lenses and the little reflectors in the T plate. I found where the data plate should have been. It looks like it was recently removed.

Here is a shot of the front drawbar:

I'll remove the tank and locker, and keep my eyes out for a 12 foot trailer GS box. They still turn up in the oddest places from time to time. I need another trailer like I need a hole in the head, but the price was decent enough, and there is even around 40 gallons of diesel in the bottom of the tank, which I can use in my shop heater this winter.

Nice catch to spot that - too bad about the data plate.

I pulled the large locker of it today with the tractor, and have started removing the fuel system. I have to find all my empty J-cans to fill them with the extra diesel.

If anyone in Manitoba or Saskatchewan sees one of the 12 foot GS trailer boxes around, let me know. Again, not sure why I need another trailer, but it's here now.
