wheeledhorseman 19 #1 Posted April 11, 2014 Last summer I picked up two trailers for my Wheel Horses. The first, a 1978 10 cu ft which I had to pay an arm and a leg for despite it's condition. These are very rare though the later version made for Wheel Horse by Ohio Steel (bolt assembly type) do come up from time to time. If you're wondering why it has Westwood wheels on it in the photo, well because the original rims had rotted through in many places. Looks reasonable on the outside from this angle but.... it had obviously been outside for many years with water standing in it. The second trailer was the little bath tub 5 cu ft cart. Again it looks okay from this angle and this angle but....... it had two big holes in the tub and ......... the tail end had completely rotted out. I bought it cheap for the wheels to put on the bigger cart but in the end decided to restore both. and on to the larger trailer...... and that's how I spent my winter.
