Oh! Oh! I saw this Snoco today and I stopped and talked to the owner. Not for sale.

He was helping someone move and I was driving by and had to stop and talk to the guy. It has been sitting outside a few years by a barn but is in EXCELLENT shape. The guy is keeping it nice, with a few modifications like bigger tires, but it is a great little find. I have had a permanent search on Ebay for more than a year, and nothing but paperwork items.
Been mad over one since seeing an Allis Chalmers Tow Bee ad on Simple Tractors and have been looking for one of these since then. I need a Tow Bee, or clone since seeing it to make my life complete.

The Allis Chalmers version was called a Tow Bee and was a factory available accessory. I'd LOVE to find one to restore to pull my 1966 B-12 Allis or HB212 Allis around on. A cloned regular Snoco trailer would also let me die happy.

I'd say that is one. Who knows what it's story is? Tongue may have been damaged. If it was a LOT closer I'd be after it. I don't see a trailer on the other side of the canoe. They were tilt trailers. I faintly remember a trailer at an auction that was a small one with a round front. I'm sure it was one now, but never heard of one at the time and already had a small one.

They did make a Deere version. I doubt that one has a title if he thinks its a '50s trailer. About a gazillion miles too far or I'd be there.

I meant the black one above. It looks like it is cut down or a different trailer. (they made a few styles) Find me one like that Deere one within a couple normal days driving and I'll be all over it.

Mt. Vernon IL 62864, and about $500 would be my limit I'm afraid for one like that. They may be worth more in some locations, but in my driveway, that's about it.

All the best deals seem to be in a Galaxy Far far away.

That one is pretty rough too high and still too far away. Bring that Deere trailer to Omaha, and I'll be on the way. (still an 8 hour drive.

A LOT of them sell without the owner knowing anyone is looking for them and just advertise them as a utility trailer, so those ARE hard to find.

That $2000 price needing restored should guarantee it only ends up in a collectors hands. I still have my eyes out for one but I put AC towbee decals on my home made trailer and called it good enough.
I had to move the bed back on the boat trailer frame to get it to tilt properly, and it does weave very slightly with no load on the highway, though it tracks straight as an arrow with a tractor on it. I'd check one for rust and keep an eye on it, just like any other trailer, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy one based on one guys opinion of tilt trailers..
