Probably mine.. This is a family site? Here we go with the PC stuff again
Anyway .. Some kind of major power genset.. Probably airplanes or jets being 3 phase 400 cycles along with 24volt.. I have a 3phase motor unit well giant green anchor here that would look nice on top of that parked next to a F4 Phantom in Oscoda!

Aircraft style tires, bright yellow paint.....I'm thinking airport related support equipment trailer.
One of those would look good tagging along behind my little "Yang" tractor.

what in the world is a "yang" tractor?
these wagons are aprox 5' x 10' and maybe #1200 as pictured.

Made in China by slave labor......but the price was right (I bought it second hand so don't flame me....my money went to the guy down the street). I have crossed most of the parts to American suppliers.
These tractors are actually knock offs of 1950's American tractors so a lot of parts will cross.

That used to be the trailer on which a large engine driven (as opposed to electric motor driven) genset used to start and power jet aircraft, mostly fighters. The AF/M-32A-13 set was used for several different aircraft, including the F-106 Delta Darts, F-4 Phantoms, and F-100 Super Sabres. What you have is just the trailer portion of the unit, the rest of the gear was stripped off years ago.

Great inteligence/info maddawg! You have provided exactly what we were debating about; thanks.
Seperately, the suggested 'offensive' avatar is my favorite one on the site, but to each his own.

Thanks Maddawg ! Any idea where we could find pictures and detailed info of the complete set up? It might end up a display some day. Did you see that one has a axle with ring and pinion? Did it drive itself somehow or did they just use the axle?

Not sure if you can, the little information I gathered was by searching under the nomenclature AF/M-32A-13. Good luck in your info gathering....
