    This one says it's a '72 model, but it has 5 digit serial number, I see only 4 digits in the one you posted unless a number is missing. S/N should be on the ID plate inside cab as well. http://www.machinerytrader.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=7350317&

    Tiny, while I find the old Poor & Hungry interesting, I am more interested in the dump trailer hiding behind the RV. Do they use 24' dump trailers in Ka or Mo? Just curious, because people not from SC are usually shocked by mine, and that Freuhauf looks like it would be right at home on my yard.

    They will use anything Mitch , Most are older trailers but still in use
