Eric, it is my understanding that a CDL is not needed for a truck/trailer combination that weighs 26,000 lbs or less. I believe the law reads "more than 26,000 lbs GCWR and trailer GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs require a CDL-A" the key here being the word "and" not "or"!
I operate a truck/trailer combination where the truck GVWR is 9,900 lbs and the trailer GVWR is 14,000 lbs giving me a GCWR of 23,900 lbs, so no CDL required.
Further, if the GCWR is over 26,000 lbs, but the towed vehicle (trailer) GVWR is 10,000 lbs or less, then a CDL-B would suffice.
JMHO, HTH, Dave
Edit: this is my understanding of the regulations in NH, YMMV

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
