Oh my!! that is AWSOME! If we could just find all our horse stuff in that kind of original condition..... That tire looks like you just bought it!!

 

I have one minor concern tho --- I'm a bit concerned that that hitch pin wont hold up to much use.....

Looks great. @Retierd Wrencher Did you oil it or clear coat it and how did you prep it

[ebinmaine 72,991]

Nice work Gary!

[peter lena 9,309]

nice save in that gary , did you oil it down ? or what ? i think that oil is the most useful thing that you can put on starved and neglected metal , i have used it on plane dull paint and it quickly gets the recovery going , pete

Pacer I believe it is the original. The chain was added later by P/O. Look up in the manual section around mid 60`s

gary , i think that the cart came out so good , it should be a reference point for anyone that has just picked up a similar  w/h related product. no more excuses to cleaning up the horse, pete

I do not think so Craig I do this with all my equipment that I have. It only takes a few minutes to apply. As you see it was very very dry needed moisture. Just my

Thank you for the post.

RETIRED WRENCHER,  as you are so aware  just applying a lubrication based rub down oil ,  of any type stops and starts the reversal of neglect and  recovery of a paint . i notice more than other paints ,the w/h base paint , really responds to the oil rub down. i have taken dull faded paint and regularly oil rubbed it down , noticing the clear and shinny paint coming thru. my next step on the finish is to go to a cleaner wax , that really gets it going, the oil feeding to recovery is the simplest and easiest way to make your paint shine,  (   if you want to )  , your pictures say it all , pete

There are other good methods here Pete but I worked my arms all my life = repetitive motion.  I was a meatal finisher at Hamilton. They are getting pretty tiered so I thought of this. Thanks for the post.

Looks great Gary.

  I have the same trailer here that’s needs some attention on the inside, not sure how I’ll attack it yet.

Thanks Mike. It was fun 2 day project. This is for tight spaces. I use the 10 c.u. for big jobs.
