Hi all,
Thanks Danny, I see you are only a few hours north of me. Drop in sometime for a look if you wish.
I've been getting a few hours in to disassemble and remove the grain bin.
First cut off much of the sheeting and remove the augers.
Then when the easier-to-access stuff was done, we hooked a chain to it and tried to roll it off. But the lip of the I-beam caught on the lip of the trailer and its' rail hit the wheels and hung there 3" off the ground!!!
After a bit of crowbar work, it was safely on the ground where it needed to be. So then I could have a much better look at my trailer. It seems to have much of the original timber floor between the decks and there seems to be lots of dark gray paint on it. More pictures later.
I still have to cut up the bin to store/scrap the steel. Then I can deal with the wheels and axles problems.
Still looking for period pictures of these trailers in Australia.
Enjoy.
Sam.
