Horndraulic dog Trailers

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...

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

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.

OK....I give up. What is an "Ex Army horndraulic trailer?" What does it look like? What is it used for? When and where was it made? Signed, confused...

Hi Guy's,
I have posted a pic of mine (1st pic)which had been modified by the RAAF for pallets and also pics of other members trailers. My trailer was also missing the spare wheel and I was not quick enough to get the original RAAF made sides shown in the picture. I believe the missing spare wheels was a government thing. I went to numerous auctions and hardly ever did any of the trailers have spare wheels - strange! the government might have thought there might be a problem if these got into the hands of the wrong person...... . But there were auctions where there was pallets upon pallets of rims and tyres - so the spares were most likely disposed of this way.

I modified my trailer because I had no spare and wanted to make use of the trailer. I used the same axels and replaced the backing plates with electric brake backing plates and matching hubs/drums. The result was scary awesome braking Consequently it took me a while to get the adjustment right. The only thing I did which I now regret was using Toyota stud pattern on the drums and not Landrover which I believe to be better.

These trailers have a common fault where by they are prone to axel breakage on the ends which is hard to fix. The Camouflaged trailer pictured(2nd pic) remained where it was pictured for a number of years I believe due to this problem.
I Would like to return my trailer to original if I could get a spare for it so if you do find some Dianaa.....PLEASE keep me in mind .

Regards,
Brett Nicholls
