Looks like a trailer we have at the farm. Dad painted it black, I put a bolt it the front at the tilt release, got tired of hearing it rattle. Great deer, hog, brush and wood hauler.

I built 2 of these for my Quads to haul stuff about 5 years ago, the beds dump and the tail gate opens or removes. I can also hook the 2 together, fun way to take the grandkids for a ride
I put a sheet of osb in the bottom, take the tail hate off, when picking up a deer, I take the stop rattle bolt out, trip the dump lever, slid the osb out and slide the deer on and in.

I wanted to put flotation tires on but didn't have the clearance I needed, tires on it look to be the same you are running.

Working on the 4000
Starter is clean and new rope
A bit of arts and crafts with a 4000 and the girls this AM. Good times.
Thought I'd share some craftsman history here. I think I had posted these up 10 years ago mark, mike, bob and a few others saw it I'm sure I think I sent them to mark to copy too. Anyway the newer ads are from sometime around '84 and the older are from the early 60s. Like I said quality is never cheap. But cheap is.
I've gotten the original paper receipts with some of the saws I've picked up over the years. Using inflation calculators, the prices of those saws from the 70's and early 80's were very costly for the average wage earner. More so than today's equivalent pro saws. $320 for a 1980 Pioneer Farmsaw, for example, is $900 before taxes according to the Bank of Canada.
To pick up inexpensive, well-cared for saws of that era is very satisfying, considering the original expenditure folks made. I always make a point of gratefully recognizing that when I accept those gems from the original owners.

Just saw these on CL near me. Both with original owners manuals. Someone took good care of em.

I just finished this 3.7 up yesterday. 
I'd estimate under 10 tanks run thru. Which seems typical of the craftsmans I have. My theory o these saws is proven many times. Homeowner buys the saw, uses it a few times for cleanup or some occasional firewood. Then saw saw goes back in its case in the garage, shed, shop.
My favorite saws to find. Usually priced less than the poulan equivalent and much less use
