5.5 CU DUMP CART

[Retired Wrencher 5,770]

:) HI I bought a W/H cart for $40 at a tractor show this summer it was not in good shape pin holes in the body deep pits from rust,so I cleaned it up yesterday and painted it is drying as I post this. it will look good being towed with the 1257, used only for the shows to pick up good stuff. It even has the original tires on it reused the orig decal. (low budget job.) looking for some straight moons for it. will post pictures when together. I got real lucky when tearing it a part the Axel was not frozen in the axle tube. so till together. Gary B...

last pick as u can see, there are a lot of pits in the metal but hey for $40.00 I think it is a good tower for the shows, if I get some moons (any body out there want two sell 2 8" moons ???) a nice add on to the tractor I have always wanted one of these it will fit in the trailer standing up, as it is 6' Well take care All Gary B...........

Looks real good Gary. You did a wonderful job .

Looks good Gary. I got one for $25.00 with a couple of dents and holes. A guy actually passed on it before I got there because of the holes. I don't know what he was expecting for 25 bucks. I got it at the sandblaster's right now. Hope there aren't too many more holes to fix. I plan on using mine as a show caddy too! :USA:

Bought one a month or so back...well...actually traded a case of beer for it. Dumb thing had a redneck lift kit which is now gone. Should be back to the correct height within the week or so.

Thanks for sharing

Thats really a cool looking trailer, you did a great job fixing it up! I hope that you find a set of Moons for it.. in 1979 when I first got my 1969 Charger R/T (car not the tractor ) the PO had put a set of big an littles on it mounted on chrome reverse rims with Baby moons, I snagged a set of American slotted mags for it and thats the way it stayed untill I got domesticated (married) in 1985 and had to sell it

Hears a dumb question, what do you mean by moons?

There are no dumb questions. I have heard dumb answers and hope this isn't one.

Google "baby moon hub caps." I think that's what they mean.
