so i bought a new trailer for moving the quad about. it was a farm auction buy (along with a spare wheel for my lorry) so i took a gamble. it was £35 so not a bad deal, even with its issues.
but its definitely going to need at least one tyre...
date coded 1991..... got to be the oldest tyre i've ever used. and yes, i towed it home like that. was a bit butt pucker-y.
the trailer is also not quite long enough, not quite wide enough and rusty. very very rusty.
i thought i took before pics, but obviously not.
after needle gunning revealed it wasn't just a couple of pin holes...
started cutting up...
quad came in useful for holding the nose steady...
and after a lot of cutting and welding plate in
its solid again but the front x-member is unsalvageable. it was full of black nasty water, as it sits nose down and there's nowhere for the water to go.
unfortunately its the weekend and there is nowhere for me to get steel, so its going the be a next week job to put it back together, much to my disgust.
