Guys I must say that I really enjoy this website. I have learned a lot lately and hope to learn some more. I have recently taken possession of an AB-1309/TRC tower trailer. Overall it is in very good condition. There is some rust on the leveling jack cylinder feet which is easily fixed. The only other issue noted is the generator are in rough condition. They will need all new sheet metal to make them look nice. The gimble tilts had already been removed prior to arrival. I haven't had a chance to do a complete inventory of the tower to see what is there v/s what may not be. If anyone has the PDF scans of the manuals for this please let me know. I have the manuals, off of here, for the MEP-003a genny's. I hope to have some more photos as this project moves forward... The reason the tongue is sitting on the ground is they had to remove the rear leveling jacks to transport. These are very rear heavy and it likes to stand up by itself. They simply swung the front tongue jack up and eased the tongue down for safety reasons.

For those of you wondering what I intend to do with it it will be installed here at my home QTH for use supporting ham antennas etc.

I will post more photos as this project moves forward.
