Another very rare find

This was from an earlier thread on MLU.

Any use ??

The trailer I located in the bush is more similar to the four wheel trailer, in that the tongue does not hinge, and is level with the trailer deck, not rising as the two wheel trailer hitch does.

I'll have to post pictures when I remember to bring my camera in.

Thats very intersting. The carrier in the first picture is 3166 and the experimental carrier with front steering that I have is 3168. I would asume that mine was around there when that shot was done.

on the numbers game, I wouldnt be surprised if you'd owned 3167 as well .
On a more serious note, the two pictures show two different carriers and two different trailers. Are the two pictures together as a result of research, or were they taken at the same time as part of trailer trialing?

Hi Lynn, it would be a bit like joining the dots would'nt it . Perhaps I should try and collect a 6 pack . I reckon it's time you visited as we've plenty of room here. You don't even need to bring your own tool kit Now here's another interesting point. Look at the second picture of the carrier getting loaded number 3160 and look closely at the idler wheel. No rubber. My experimental one has no rubber either, but mine is a different style. Now THATS very interesting

Now looking more closely, it looks like the same diameter as one with a rubber.

Some interesting observations, however, I guess no one has any more information on Taskers 4 wheeled trailers used by the Brits pre and early WWII ??
