He sold all of them but 4 and thinks they are sold. He wants 18k each and I need to be at 10k or under to be able to refurbish them and make a profit. Thanks.

I am looking for several M747 heavy haul trailers to buy. If anyone knows of one that can be purchased, please let me know. I plan to restore and modify for resale. I need 3 units any condition. Contact Mike Hatfield 423-432-9493

It is weird how things turn out sometimes. I am very happy with the trailer now. The guy that messed it up just got arrested again last week. I hope they keep him for a long time because he does not know how to behave in public.

All is well now with the M747 and I am hauling with it on a regular basis.

I finally started using my M747 and it really does well out on the road. This is the first Howitzer I have ever hauled on it. After the guys cut off the front, I didn't think I would ever be able to use it.

More pictures of the repaired trailer. I thought the welder did a really good job. He triple walled the main beams on the new neck and drilled several holes in the plates where the neck was connected to add weld plugs. He also added a drop down kingpin frame that is designed to be removed when I...

The have a picture of the load he brought in, but police said they couldn't ID my stuff in the picture. I asked if I could go look at the picture and was told they will only show to police. He must have cut it up pretty good. It would be a waste of my time to do anything else at this point...

They figured out how he did it. He stole a gooseneck trailer from a building material company, backed it under the front of my trailer, used his cutting torch to cut and dropped it onto the gooseneck and hauled it to scrapyard. The weird thing is that I went to that scrapyard on Dec 28 and he...

The guy that messed up my trailer is in jail on several other charges. He was on trial this week on 2 charges and his girlfriend on 1. Never charged with mine, but looks like he may spend a few years in jail on the others, which included meth possession. It cost me $3000 to fix and lost...

I finally got my trailer back from the welding shop. It only took the guy 4 months to repair. I hope you guys like the new design. I will have some better pictures next week.

At this point, I am just letting the detective do his job. He said he would contact the scap yard in question to see if they have a record of his name. They are required by TN law to get ID on every transaction. I am sure the gooseneck is long gone by now because they take in truck loads every...

At this point I am just glad the guy is in jail. He will most likely be in for awhile because he got arrested for breaking into a car at Walmart, using a weapon in the commission of a crime, possession of schedule 2 drugs, two counts of bond surrender, and hold for other agency. They have...

UPDATE---The guy that ruined my trailer is in jail. He hasn't been charged for the trailer yet, but his girlfriend indentified the front of my trailer on his flatbed trailer. She asked him where he got that and he said don't worry about it. I know where he sold it for scrap and it was one of...

The state didn't do anything to the trailer because they were all off for christmas and they told me it was okay to use the property. As far as enemies, I have no known emenies in this area. Anyone know where an old M747 is sitting around for savage that I could buy the neck off of? The...

Someone pointed out today that the way the trailer was cut might indicate that the crooks may have a use for that gooseneck. I noticed both sides were cut off exactly at the same distance from the deck and at the same angle. Anyone have any thoughts about that.
