Wasn't going to mention him...

Having looked at the suspension units the decision was taken to change the hubs as the bearings are well past their best.
The units themselves seem ok and are welded on so it seemed wasted time trying to cut them off.
The back bearings on the hubs on the new units need pressing off before we can fit them, so a job for later in the week.
As the weather today has been pretty awful I quickly covered the areas of the frame which were back to bare metal with a coat
of black spray paint,and cleaned up and painted the road wheels.
-
After a good clean up the next job was to replace the floor and front with fresh wood,luckily I had some of the right size in stock...
The tailboard was dismantled and all the old wiring removed, a spare 3 foot lighting board will take care of lighting duties.
The woodwork in this was also replaced.

The latest project at Mack Towers is Steve ds rather sad looking trailer...
He has had this for a while now and it needs some love to put it back on the road again,
I transported it home to Crowborough a few weeks ago and we have now started on it...
First job was to get rid of all the knackered woodwork in the floor, the sides are not too bad so we will be keeping them in place...

Whilst perusing the autojumble at the Cuckoo Fayre at Laughton today I acquired this ATCO lawn edger for a nominal sum...
On the same stall was a hessian sack carrying the advertising of the Country Gentlemans Association (CGA), they used to publish an annual book of equipment of all shapes and size including lots of horticultural machinery... I think these sacks make a good base or backdrop to a display so this one was also purchased
