Default Generator trailer

Was sent these pics.
Was originally a genie trailer. Has Catalina flying boat front dolly wheels.
Anyone have a pic of what the trailer originally looked like?

Cliff,
You have it correct. The trailer was made by Taskers of Andover, hence the letters TOA on the plate. I know of a Lister generator for sale that was fitted on these trailers. It has obviously had a front axle grafted on.



regards, Richard

Hi Ryan,
Here is some info on the trailer. I remember working on a few of these, they were still in service to around 1980's. Great engine, half compression cocks on each cylinder, hand crank with decompressor, 1000rpm running speed.
Hope the scan is clear to read.

regards, Richard

Amazing they served until the 80s.
