Hi Bob and James.

Thanks for putting up the trailers you have gotten.

Jeff Gordon is currently working on an article which we can put up on the website to aid people in ID'ing their trailers. My guess Bob is that yours is a #4. I`m not sure if GMH or Ford as I cant see the tie down catches closely enough. From what i`ve seen, Ford are flat on the hook part and GMH is rounded type hook like you find on the hand hook used for lifting chaff bags. Jeff also says that there is a way of telling by the floor, but i havent seen a #4 GMH floor so i cant say!

The draw bar does not look original either- too long.


James- i have often wondered if any Australian trailers are overseas- guess that puts that one to bed! Thanks for adding you details.

Cheers,
Ian.
