(quoted from post at 16:04:02 02/22/20) Not everything painted green with yellow wheels was made by John Deere. I'd want to see a Deere serial
number plate somewhere on it, or a reciept from a Deere dealer with a model or some other identifying
name or number. Bet the seller would get pretty defensive about his claim it's a Deere. "ORIGINAL PAINT"
HA-HA!
My local Case-IH dealer sells trailers, but they come right out and say they are from Behnke
Enterprises in Farley, Iowa, even the red ones.
(quoted from post at 19:20:19 02/22/20) The guy I loaded the old Farmalls and
McCormick Deerings for after my
neighbor's sale last spring had a JD
trailer. ID tag clearly said John Deere.quote]
It would be interesting to see tag model/# of a trailer built with ""mobile home"" type wheels?
(quoted from post at 19:43:29 02/22/20) "[b:fcf5bb3dbd][i:fcf5bb3dbd]John Deere did make a trailer back in the 1930?s or 1940?s for dealers to use for delivery of new tractors[/i:fcf5bb3dbd][/b:fcf5bb3dbd]"
I still remember many yrs back when I was backing a JD B up on a JD #16 tilt trailer. When the rear tires of tractor reached the metal plate on trailer floor the rear tires briefly spun. Rear tires of tractor & tractor with driver slide off the side of trailer. That was one moment that made my heartbeat increase dramatically. Another tractor loading episode I witnessed was when JD dealer came to pick up my neighbors JD B tractor & tractor after trailer broke over to level ended up with rear tires sitting between front of trailer & rear of GMC 3/4 ton pickup. Winching a non-running tractor on trailer with hand crank winch was no easy task either.
(quoted from post at 07:14:42 02/23/20) Those wheels are not just mobile home use. They are used in
low trailer applications and are perfectly legal. Wouldn't
surprise me at all to see them on a tilt bed trailer to keep the
deck lower and more flat.

It would still be interesting to know the model of that trailer.
or sure, John Deere did sell trailers/wagons with their name on them! I have an original.(quoted from post at 14:12:20 02/23/20) The John Deere reps told us that tri-axle trailer was aimed at the crawler loaders with a backhoe at the time they were made.that's why the axles are way back from where they
would normally be.I do know of one of those in the bushes,and wanted it because it was JD,but I also realized I won't have much use for a trailer with the wheels so far back.My
JD tilt trailer is a tandem with a 14 foot deck,and the wheels are really too far ahead on it.I am used to it,and know to load the weight to the front as much as possible.I was
told they also made a 16 foot tilt deck,although I've never seen one.If the snow is gone off mine I will try to get a picture later on.I have it stripped down right now to
sandblast,and I am replacing the axles.I don't like the original 5 lug wheels,and the Warner brake parts are made of gold.The old JD dealer in Walpole N.H. R.N.Johnson used to
stock all the brake parts for them,but they're long gone.
