Think I hadja beat, Jim. the aforementioned 17' flatbed trailer (likely
heavier than a car hauler), with a '73 2x4 Travelall on it, with an HD 44F
(big knuckles version), an RA 15, and an NP 205 loaded into the back of it.
Also four 19.5" wheels and various other 'un light' stuff in the back of
the Traveller !!
