Wanted: Ben Hur Trailer parts

[Steve Mortimer]

Looking for a couple things for a Ben Hur I’m working on. Need landing leg parts or even a tracing of the swivel part so I could maybe fab something up.

Man we all want that landing leg! A friend of mine has one on his trailer, another mutual friend needs one as do I. The mutual friend has discussed making a pattern and having ones cast. We have an Amish foundry nearby and the casting is rather affordable. The pattern part is the expensive bit.

These guys in France might have the parts......but sadly pretty expensive and I am sure postage would be as well.

As all of you we also need one as well as the pump for a bowser
We have the ability to fab a crude one but it's way done the priority list

I got a tracing of the rotation quadrant from the guy that has a draw bar for sale on eBay right now. I’m going to see if I can fab something up that will work with a fab shop I use here. You can use an old farm sprayer boom wheel for a fork, looks pretty close.

I haven't shopped for the closest size yet; but many ag wheel assemblies are close. The tail wheel on 3-point hitch mowers/bush hogs, the front wheels on zero turn mowers etc.
