new for old trailer

[DN22 Gardening]

Ok, so bought this from ADAM Bourne a couple of years ago.

 

It had had a hard life before it got to me, and was was worked hard while i needed it.

 

the purchase of a second transit kind of made it redundant so it sat in yard neglected for a while.

 

 

Until now…

 

Whats everyones thoughts

 

took the tub off

as the trailer was nose heavy, we extended it backwards slightly, added some post holders on each corner, and in the middle.

 

got to take some more pics tomorrow, its had a lick of paint since these were taken.

 

i've also put a grid floor on the trailer so it can take the Jensen if required.

oh, and some mudguards, lol

Is that a frame at the front bend or just an optical illusion?

[Breezeblock]

don't make it too smart looking or it will grow legs and disappear

[stihllearning]

is it going to be timber trailer ?

[DN22 Gardening]

Yes bud, timber trailer.

 

The A frame at the front is a Swan neck.

 

Can anyone see the school boy error?

 

 

Yep, only gone and fitted the mudguard over the Center bolster holder

 

DOH!!!!!

It looks a smart project, but that front ' A ' frame just doesnt look right for me.

Drill it out then cut it square. The finish quality will be even better. Nice use of an old resource.

Dunno then buddy.

 

As said above. its an ifor williams donor chassis and axles.

 

All I've done is chop the tipper assembly off it

 

[doobin]

It was a tipper?

 

What a waste.

What a waste.

 

Not really buddy.

The ram was on its way out.

The tipper body was as rotten as they come.

We originally bought the trailer to go behind the 4x4 to save buying a second transit.

After buying transit no. 3 I decided it was surplus to requirements
