the showman 4,074 #1 Posted March 26, 2016 Back in June last year I pulled this trailer out of a barn at Johns. Not sure how long it had been in there but it was buried under a pile of stuff and had 4 Knackerd tyres. I got it home and fitted 4 new tyres and exhibited at a few shows through the summer behind the Wheelhorse. 3 diggerjames, nigel and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #2 Posted March 26, 2016 Out in the sunshine yesterday i got a bit carried away, so i guess this is my next project. Next thing is to make a new drawbar and strip the wheels and get it blasted 5 Alan, meadowfield, Stormin and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moogie 372 #11 Posted March 27, 2016 Thats a good looking wagon Chris, would there be any chance of a few dimentions, length, width, height, draw bar length, etc. I Would like to have a go at building a replica for myself. Thanks, Noel. 2 HeadExam and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
