That trailer reminds me of one I built in my younger years. For all I know it's still out there somewhere.:laughing: I sold it about 30 years ago or so. I hope you're OK with your phone number being out there on the net. It's easily readable off the photo:shocked:

I saw that and figured maybe I'd be able to sell it!

Thanks buggyman, I am pleased with it. Actualy I have it together but Don't have pics up yet, I will get the hydraulics hooked up tomorrow if it rains! Then I will post pics

... Let me just get this out there I am NOT repeat NOT a painter!!...

I feel your pain. I strongly dislike painting. If it weren't for rust, none of my projects would ever get painted. As it is, half of them don't anyway.

If I'm not mistaken, drippy paint protects as well as perfect paint.

Don't feel bad: Big areas of the orange paint on my new Land Pride grading scraper peels right off. Disappointing.

I got the hydraulics and the wiring hooked back up today and added a little finnishing touch. After all was connected I tried it out and it would go up but not down! :confused: I rechecked my wiring diagram and tried it again still would go up but not down. I rechecked and thought maybe when I drew the diagram I reversed two wires so I switched them and ......NOTHING!!! :mur: so I switched them back and Wahla it works!!! It must have been a bad connection. :thumbsup:
Well here are some final pics. I still have a couple things I want to do to it yet and will post pics as I get them done!
I still have not tested it with a load in it (other than my 175# but on it!! :laughing:) and almost don't want to, it's too pretty to mess it up!!! :D
I am very pleased with the way it turned out. :cool2: :dance1:

See!! There's another reason to not paint stuff.

The Kubota Decal is a nice touch.

I've seen posts where the "poster" appears to have gone back in and edited it. I would think the same process should work on photos. I don't personally know how it's done, I just leave my mistakes lie where they fall.:laughing: Someone on this thread should be able to tell you.

OK! I'm doing it right now. On the posts that you had put up there is a provision to edit just below and to the right of your signature.

That's right - And you only have a limited amount of time to do so (not sure how long)
