Default Horndraulic dog Trailers

This is going to sound a little weird.

I am looking for a spare wheel for my ex-Army Horndraulic trailer. They seem to be rare and even the trailer at the engineers museum is missing its spare.



I have been told by an enthusiast in Canberra, that some time ago a fellow was selling an entire Horndraulic axle with two rims, but he didn't get the contact details. The only info he has is the potos of a couple of Jeeps he had for sale.





Any information on whom it may have been or contact details would be greatly appreciated.

Diana

The meet may have been in Queensland.

Another image where you can see the wheels, there were actually two axles.



Probably sitting under someone else's trailer by now!

If we can identify the vendor, I can actually distribute the 4 wheels as spares for 4 different trailers, one at the Engineers Museum.

Default Canungra

That was a father and son setup at the recent MJCQ Canungra Swap. I bought a few Land Rover rims off them but can't remember their name...

Cheers

Hi Phil

Apparently the truck in the background belongs to Ken L***** so am trying to track his contacts down. Have another lead on some stub axles and wheels on a farm in South Oz so in 24 hours am getting further than I've got in 12 months. Although it still may come to naught, that seems to be the way with me at times!

At least this time it's not some scammer from the UK trying to get me to send him money without photos or proof he had the items.

BTW: Did you have any worries with the recent fires?

Cheers
Diana

Default Vendors

Hello Diana,

If the people had a stall at MJCQ Canungra Swap they may have had to be registered vendors. If you can contact the MJCQ organisers they may be able to identify the vendors and their contact details.

It is worth a try I suppose.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Thanks Lionel

I'll let these leads run until they loose steam then I'll take up your idea.
