I am happy that it is coming home too. All too often stuff like this slips through the cracks and is gone forever. There is never a good time to lay out cash based on rescueing stuff, but unless it happens these things disapear. Kudos to Francois for stepping up on this.

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

Default 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

Default 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
