Towing a M38A1
Howard,
My rule of thumb is, if it's too far to drive, put it on a trailer and tow it.
Murphy's Law has always prevailed. Long distance flat towing is asking for trouble. Bearings, tires, and gears. If any one goes, your in a lot of grief. Stuck somewhere, broken parts, tow truck, watching your wallot and time thinning and of course Aggrevation. It's a Charlie Brown Play, if you get there alright your a hero, if you don't make it, your screwed. A good trailer is cheap and a dependable way to get your vehicle there. and back, time and time again. One bad flat tow and you've paid for that trailer, but you'll never get your agrevation spent back.
I've trailered my M38a1 CDN 2 over 2,000 miles this year and it's a very good feeling that when I back it off the trailer, I know excatly what condition it's in.
Good luck,
Bob M.
