Just picked up a 1985 Cadet two weekends ago.
Its a bit on the rough side, but working to get it up to snuff.
Cool having something under 1,000lbs to pull behind a car.
no need for a truck!

I had been browsing alot before I decided to say no on the tear drop and yes to the older cadet. I like being able to stand up!(Well, almost haha)
Cheers!

Congrats on your acquisition! Almost 30 years ago, back in Poland, I used to have one. What car are you pulling it with?

[Cadet85]

THX! Pulling behind a nissan sentra.
it has a 6spd manual.. Otherwise.. I wouldn't even dare!

Well, I'm not sure if you know but these were originally designed to be pulled by Fiat 126 that had a 4 speed manual transmission, 2 cylinder 23 HP engine and people did dare to pull it with such.

Put in a few photo's when you get a chance, it looks like a cool shaped trailer. Nice find.
