bowtieguy 334 #11 Posted December 14, 2015 Barry, my trailer has a medal tag bolted on the hitch...been painted over many times but looks original...# looks like 5DC01...numbers below are 6087 I've never checked to see if this is a model # or not....once owned THREE WH trailers like yours (not green tho) and pulled behind THREE Lawn Rangers driven by my THREE grandsons.(yeah, triplet boys)...but they are 8 now and sports has overtaken WH stuff.....maybe they will remember when they "grow up"...lol BTW...I once had a WH that was painted green....sold it to moparfan near Columbia....maybe it will reappear and you can have a "matching rig"...???

slammer302 2,155 #12 Posted December 14, 2015 By the looks of the decal I would say it is a 67-05DC01 the tag is long gone but I looked through many pictures and sum have the decal pictured and the older ones have the smaller WH decal thanks Frank I think you are spot on!
