M1076 behind a deuce tractor?

[jrobinson5093]

Does anyone know how the front axle is attached to the rest of the trailer. The reason I would like to know it the rest of the trailer looks like it would be nice to pull behind a deuce tractor. But the weight may be a problem. I just wonder how much trouble it would be to install a kingpin on the trailer frame.

This is a trailer like im talking about

Way too much trailer for a full size deuce much less a tractor. No weight on the 5th wheel would allow the trailer to push the tractor. That trailer has straight air brakes also.....in a situation where you need to use the brakes a lot, such as a long down hill run, the air might leak down to the point where the brakes on the trailer locked up.

I think he wants to remove the front axle and pull with the fifth wheel.that is why he wants to know how it is mounted on the trailer. i think it may be doable but may have to have a king pin welded on it for the fifth wheel.

Looks quite heavy for a deuce.......

The front steering axle appears to be mounted on a turntable. I believe they unbolt. You would need to add landing gear and a king pin
