Has anyone towed a G527 tank trailer (aka a "Ben Hur Water Buffalo") behind an M37? Although the trailer is rated as a one-ton, Doyle's book, Standard Catalog of U. S. Military Vehicles, 2nd Edition, states that it was designed to be towed by vehicles of 3/4 ton capacity and higher. The max gross weight is listed at 3,500 lbs., which is actually less than the M101 trailer's rated max gross of 3,590 lbs. The tank capacity is 250 gallons.

The wheels are a five lug pattern - anyone know if it's the same as the G741?

Anyone know of one for sale?
