Info needed: Trailer socket Humber one ton

[Robert Sexton]

Rich,The Humber was a going concern when I got it. The usual rust problems in the tray body but the rest does not look to bad.Engine runs well ,transmission sounds OK,all the electrics work,brakes not working. It was in a shed out of the weather and not been run for thirty years when I bought it.This is what it looked like after all the dust and chook feathers were washed off, also the the GS tray just after restoration and assembly.
The timber from the tray and the trailer look like Teak but hard to tell as they were very weathered,I have replaced the deck with local E.Wandoo, it is a very hard timber and will stand water immersion, it is commonly used as stock yard material.The usual lifespan in the ground as a post is fifty years plus.
