The modified/reinforced tongue. The quality of the welding suggests a postwar Bubba-bilt modification to allow overloads. They pulled hard enough to generate cracking at the front plate of the tongue and distort the large castle nut on the drawbar eye. I would be interested to know if anyone has seen service bulletins for CMP trailers to parallel those for the trucks and whether drawbar modifications are mentioned. The added channel below the tongue required removal of the original steps just ahead of the box, no sign they were ever replaced.
