Thanks Bob,
The bottom line and what really matters is that it's been rescued and coming back to Canada. And if I do eventually pass it along, it will go to a good home where it'll be appreciated for what it is. Cheers, François

Safely back in Canada.....
The trailer is now safely back in Canada.
It requires quite a bit of work, but should make for an interesting project! Cheers, François

Hi Bob,
Will do. As much as I itch to start working on it, I probably won't have the time until later in the summer. I'll have quite a bit of research to do in the mean time. Cheers, François

Nice way to load it.....
.... must have been a bitch to unload.
Grant showed me the shop manual for your trailer......real nice. The big challenge will be to either find the parts for the lunette or fabricate your own from steel plate,,,tubing and lots of welding and grinding......enough to be usable and safe and pass a 36 in. inspection. Good luck, keep us posted and don't be afraid to ask for help. Bob

I was also a bit afraid of the unloading. We used long lenghts of 2 x 10 to slide it down, turn it around and gently flip it back upright. It actually went pretty smoothly, but you're right, it's sure heavier than it looks.
If you have a direct line to Grant, please let me know, because I've tried email through MLU and PM to contact him for the manuals but without success and I would really love to obtain them before doing anything. I think that they are manuals SB-8 and SB-8A. For the lunette, I'm optimistic in life, so I'm not giving up hope of finding the missing bits! The support rails shouldn't be much of a problem to fabricate if I can find the correct profile of U channel. There's also the option of casting new parts if I can find originals to copy from. Thanks for the offer of help, I will probably take you up on it as I'm sure I'll need quite a bit of support! Cheers, François
