6 pointsGive my mate a bit of a hand today to start a new trailer project, well, he done the work and i stood and took photo's. They say that its the thought that counts, so i was thinking about all the work i was watching him do, does that count ? Anyway, this trailer will be roughly a scaled down version of this, Started of with some 3x1 1/2 channel to build the frame. Lower bracket for ram. We are very serious about health and safety, that why we will only ever chance one eye ! Gary got some wheels and hubs from an old golf cart, so axle making is next. Axle all put together. And welded in place.

6 pointsI had to leave for a little while and missed getting a few pictures of the build but this is what he had done when i returned. And at half travel. Then full height. It goes up to about 58° which should be more than steep enough. A short video of it in operation. https://youtu.be/3HaLMsurmGA

Made a start on my idler today, found an old axle off a mower deck and a pulley, a couple of bits of tube and a piece of flat bar also from a deck, ive drilled the 3/4" rod and tapped a 3/8" thread in one end to hold the pulley and drilled a 3/4" hole in the flat bar and welded them together. the tube will be welded on to hold it central in the attach a matic hitch once i get a belt to align it up. once i get a belt i can weld the bar for the tension spring and fit the other pulley. heres some photos -
