Lavine Gear 39-119 3/4 Ton rescued
Rescued this 39 Lavine-Gear 39-119 3/4 Ton trailer in NM this weekend. Needs a nice VC to pull it. Working on getting a title and getting it road worthy. Pretty straight and unmolested considering its 83 years old. Tailgate was "saved" as it is tacked in place keeping it from getting all beat to heck, top rail is descent, fenders are solid and certainly capable of being straightened. Floor is reasonable, lunette is missing but welding job looks professional, so tongue is straight and not molested. Finding landing gear and lunette is of course a different matter. More pictures to follow if anyone wants to see more, it does have remnants of US Army reg number on tailgate I will need to work on to get it readable, and post when able.

Excellent! These are not common. Here's a Facebook group for the 1-Ton trailers. Some of the information crosses over: https://www.facebook.com/groups/707261073300832
If the drawbar casting is still intact coming up with a lunette is a lot easier. I also carry the castle nuts for the lunettes.

No casting unfortunately. I did see a posting somewhere of one that had been restored that showed the landing gear and all the front end stuff, but can't seem to find it again, serves me right for not marking the site.
