Suggestions for a trailer I found

Hey Eddie,Thanks for finding my trailer.How can I get it back.
By looking at your attachment,I would push it back in the weeds where you found it.

Eddie that welders cart looks loike an older factory Lincoln trailer. I bought 6 at a sale out from under some Lincoln pipeliners. I reold one as is and made a few of them into smokers, one was turned into a yard trailer and one a stone harvestor uses up in Alabama to cart river rocks out of the woods.. A few of them went backto hauling welders .

It is true... Those Texas ranches are spread so far and wide the owners have no idea what they have. How about a treasure hunt for all the TBN'ers ? Make it in the winter months so some of us can enjoy some warm southern hospitality. Just post the invite... we will dog sled to the airport !!!!!! By the way... Love the backhoe. You sure know how to pick the good toys.

Regardless of what you use it for, be sure to keep the handy beer cooler on it. It would be a rotten shame to ruin the original fabricator's foresight. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

One thing I could use it for would be a sprayer setup. Could mount a good sized tank, and put dual wands up on those rear posts. Of course, a welding cart would be a good use for it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif John

Looks like someone stole a welder from a road/bridge crew and dumped the trailer on your land. If there are any ID numbers on it I would have them checked

I don't know the quality of the construction but it's laid out right. Oxygen bottle horizontal and acetylene vertical with hangers for leads and hose.

Put my vote on it's history being a stolen welding rig that was taken from a construction site to the country for parting out.

As much construction as he's got going on there I say Eddie ought to rig it back up as a welding rig for the rancho de visitorio, aka r-v /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

BTW Eddie if you're still considering a single axle dump I have a friend with two C65's that might be available, manual, 366 gas, etc.

You could take off the wheels and mount it on top of a long pole. Looks like it would make a good TV antenna. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the suggestions. From the quality of the work and detail put into it, I'd have to agree that it was a welding trailer that more than likely was stolen and dumped. That sure makes allot of sence. Especially since my land was never fenced before I bought it.

I'm leaning toward making it a utility trailer to haul around with a four wheeler or my CUT. I'll strip it down and weld on some decking and siding.

I like the sprayer idea. It wouldn't take much to get a tank that I could make removable for other uses. My Dad suggested a rack for wire spools, which would be handy as well. I could add some brackets to attach it and make it like an implement.

Looks like a fun rainy day project.
