Scored one of these trailers this afternoon. Swiped a couple representative pics from Google. upload_2025-8-7_23-9-40.jpeg

I have the frame, swivel, and wheel for one of these. Do you have the bumper-mount system with yours?

For people who don't know how to back up a trailer. But cars don't have massive steel bumpers anymore. :cry:

OK, I'll bite: WTH are you going to use it for? Does it come with a set of handles to make it what it really is? A wheelbarrow! A tow-able wheel barrow! ;)
Love the "universal attachment" which really means "there's a chance it will work but it'll probably scratch the bejeezus outta yo' bumpa". But for $29.95, why not give it a shot?
Gotta love funny old stuff! Congrats on your "new" acquisition!
 
Yes, the bumper mounts are there, they used to pull it behind their Falcon. Been trying to buy Cushman stuff from them for years, was bowled over when I finally got the chance! Bunch of Cushmans, Triumphs, BSA, BMW, Guzzi and late Indian Scouts. Everything from a Yamaha Champ to a JAP speedway bike. I'm trying to land about eight Cushman project scooters in a storage unit. Never seen so many motorcycle engines in one basement. One piece I really like is an Atlas bench-top horizontal milling machine, never seen one before. Going to be a DAUNTING task to clean this place out.
 
If it does anything here it will probably get screwed to the back of a '53 Ford 4-door, probably just get stocked with the rest of the stuff I'm not using. Yes, there is one really nice restored Gold Star.
 
Years ago, passed by a motorcycle pulling one on the freeway and the wheel locked up! Black streaks and smoke as he wrestled the bike to the shoulder. Looked like he was having trouble keeping the bike upright. I always thought that single wheel wasn't meant to run 75 mph. He got it on the shoulder of the freeway, bet it took a while to catch his breath.
They look really useful.

Wow, What a collection!
 
My father used one of those behind a 53 Buick Roadmaster for years. The frame went to the scrap yard last year but still have a good title.

I also believe that this single wheel is not made for high speed... :banghead:
