Hi, I enjoy the pictures and information on your website. I found this Allstate box trailer on Craigslist and did
some work on it to run behind my 71 Beetle - lots of fun. Thanks, Jeff Horn

(Note:This trailer has a Montgomery Wards body and Frame with an Allstate Box wheel assembly.) First off, what a great and
informative sight! I purchased this trailer a year or so ago and am now ready to use it. It is a Montgomery Ward model 64 KYD-13236-B
serial #9328. It came with no paper work so I don't know what year it is. Also had no bumper brackets which is why I'm e-mailing you. Is
anything like this available or should I start fabbing something on my own? It is going to be pulled behind my 62 camper bus. Thanks,
Scott.

Sir, I was pleasantly surprised to find your web site regarding mono-wheeled trailers. I
recently bought some property (land) here in California. And while clearing the lot I came across an
abandoned partially disassembled mono-wheeled trailer. Surprisingly once I uncovered it, I found it in
outstanding condition. The license plate was last registered in 1978. The previous owner had fabricated a
home designed & constructed shell/cover for the tub/bed. The trailer needed to be pressure washed, sanded
and grinded in some places. I painted it (to match my 1984 two tone Ford Ranger), added two adjustable
trailer jack stands to the front of it, fabricated two more stabilizer legs for the rear of it for when I
have it unhitched & parked and replaced the tail lights. I have installed a fold out work bench, added an
interior 110 volt power distribution system and a 4' florescent work light intending to use it as a
portable work station trailer (see photo's attached). I have one problem with the trailer. When I tow it,
on occasion, when I hit a bump, the wheel starts gyrating (fishtailing) back & forth causing a severe
vibrating that is only ceased by bringing the trailer to a near stop. I'm not sure what is causing the
tire gyrating. I have leveled the trailer so that the tire automatically trails the trailer and decreased
the tire pressure, and these have helped and decreased the frequency of the problem, but I have had a
couple of more instances. Any suggestions you or your fellow "mono-wheeled trailerettes" could offer will
be greatly appreciated. Owned by John K. Rezek Jr.

"I found another single wheel box trailer SEARS by Sears Roebuck and Co. It needs to be
reassembled, and has all the parts, has some surface rust, but is not rusted through. The owner got it
after his uncle died and he does not know what year it is. I contacted Sears Parts, they still have a
parts list for it (but no major parts), but could not tell me what year it is. This is the information on
the identification plate;
SEARS
Model Number 287.61830 Serial 2019
SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. U.S.A. SIMPSONS - SEARS LTD. CANADA "

A Clam Shell Allstate I picked up in AZ. At some point the OG mounts were swapped for
what's on there now so it could be used on a lowered VW Bus. The tire was swapped out for a bigger one too.

Glad to be included. First off, I have included
a couple of pictures of my trailer with the old trailer tongue, and then with the telescoping tongue.
Also have taken the old fenders off and replaced them to look a bit more modern. When I visited you site
I clicked on the "see them here" link, that's where I found similar Sears "Box Trailer" features. As I
looked through the web site you did have a couple of trailers that have very similar features. One
noticeable difference are the slots for side railings on my trailer. Those were not added to the
trailer. It was manufactured in this manner. The Sears & Roebuck model number tag is really hard to
read. Click on the picture to enlarge it and it is more visible. I have a couple of views of the tag.
I'll let you decide which photos to post. Also have taken the time to personalize my license plate. I
look forward to seeing the trailer along side of the others. Owned by

arms is 5' 6" plate is from Idaho,and it reads Ida-58-Tr.it has never been tagged by me,and i have hawled
it 100's of miles i have never been stopped by C.H.P..i have been told it may be because it is a direct
mount. no sway what so ever.if you are intersted in this trailer.it would be a good idea if you lived

Hello, My name is Robert Rinaldi and
I publish a magazine about vintage Ford farm tractors. In the next issue of the
magazine we will be showing a tractor with a one-wheeled trailer. The owner does
not know much about this trailer, he bought it used at a garage sale. He guessed
it was a Sears.

This trailer was for sale at an OCTO show in late 03.

a squareback or notchback. Those are the only cars I have used with it. Interior is sprayed with gloss
black bedliner material. I have also added gas struts to hold lid in up postion. Lid removes to make a box
trailer and tailgate is removeable also. New tires, tubes and wiring. Trailer is unregistered and comes

Allstate Singlewheel Trailer. Registered in CA all
current and good for another 4 years. Titled as a 1962. This is the clam shell style trailer with
functioning lid and vintage interior "carpet"; it's very similiar to 1960's style american auto trunk mats.
It has a few dings and the top is a little wrinkled but nothing too major. new bearings installed and I
think I have another set as well. Not a very common model of trailer. Bus tailights and reverse spot light
in pics have been removed as well as license plate frame. Great tire, extra arms and tire and rim included.

1965 Allstate Single Wheel Trailer. I have taken the wheel
assembly apart for inspection and re-lubing and this wheel assembly is in the great shape. Virtually no
play. Has an original Allstate tire that should be replaced. This trailer is in pretty good shape. Very
little rust. All the latches and hinges work well.

Ronnie from http://www.oldvolks.com
was selling this Allstate box type trailer frame. Not sure if it sold or not, but it looked as if it was
in pretty good shape. It has the an original Allstate tire in descent shape and all the mounting hardware,
including the brackets. I did however forget to check the date on the mounting plaque.

I bought this double crazy wheel trailer form a guy that used it behind
his single cab. It weights about 220 pounds. This is not a basket case. The trailer is disassembled now and
the bottom is painted L87. There are about twelve styles of bolts and screws, all labeled. All sheet metal
with extra holes are welded up. Included are the new curved tops. The originals were very thin and dented.
Nothing is missing! As is, it needs either L87 on top and inside, and the frame, springers, wheels and
spare painted. Owned by Dave Pasco.

approx 4' x 4' and 2' deep with a hinged cover. It is all metal and not all beat up or rusted out. it will
come with a spare wheel and tire."
