I've learned today after calling several dealers throughout the area that not all drivers' licences are created equally. In Ontario, a general license allows the operator to pull 10000 lbs GVRW. So if I get a trailer with two 6000 lb axles I can still only haul 10000 without upgrading. Dual 3500 axles gives me 7000, but that includes a 2200 lb or more trailer. The VA with loader tops around 4000 or a little more, so I'm okay. If the Major ever steps on the trailer, with wheel weights, I'm looking at a 5500 lb machine, leaving me overweight, and screwed if police want to fine me, or the ministry of highways. So I guess I have to decide whether to get a 12000 GVRW trailer so I can haul 10000, or haul the Major very slowly down backroads so I'm not caught overweight on 7000 lb trailer. I understand about getting more than I'll need, but I just wasn't planning on spending that much. Now I'm looking in the $4000-$4500 range to start. Big difference than what I was considering this morning! Grrr!
But thanks for all the input.

Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
