Default 6pdr wheels

Today I found these 6pdr wheels under an old farm trailer. Are they worth recovering or are there plenty of them around. Farmer will sell.

Farm located east of Perth, Western Australia.

PM me if interested.

Default 6 pounder wheels and axle

Hi Stuart:

Looks like you've got the hubs and axle as well. Grab the lot as they are hard to find. Someone restoring a 6 pounder or a 4.2" mortar will need them at some point.

To give you an idea of value, last spring I bought a home made trailer here in Canada that had the same axle, hubs and wheels for $120CAD just to get the 6 pounder parts. It was the first set of spare wheels and hubs I had seen in nearly 30 years of collecting artillery!

Cheers! Mike
