A large part of the identification tag for the trailer for my 1986 Montgomery 15 is damaged and missing. I wondered if anyone else with a mid 1980's Montgomery 15 with a Trail Rite trailer that has a identification tag in better shape that mine could send me an image (I can't see images posted to the group) of theirs or otherwise fill in the missing information.
This is what I can read:
MFD. BY TRAIL ...ITE...TRAILERS INC. Trail-Rite SANTA ANA, CAMFR'D 3/86...WEIGHT RATING 1500 lbs ...GHT RATING: ALL AXLES 1500 lbs...2(B) TIRES, 12X4 RIMS AT 60 PSI COLD....ORMS TO ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY...ECT ON DATE OF MANUFACTURE SHOWN ABOVE....N NUMBER [>my VIN<] TYPE-TRAILER...G CAPACITY - 1100lbs.
The "...'s" represent information I can't read or that is missing.
Of most interest would be what the 1100 lbs refers to. I suspect that could be "Carrying Capactity" but am not sure. I am also interested in what it is saying about tires even though I put a new axle and wheels on it since I have had it.
I would like to repaint the trailer and that would almost certainly obliterate this old tag entirely. I assume it would be possible (physically at least) to have a replacement tag with all the original information made and affix it to the newly painted trailer. Any thoughts on this?
