Hi Rob
No other bits found as of yet. The gun project has been crawling along, spending any spare time on the FAT which is now running. We took it for its first drive just the other day. But I will get back to the yard that this trailer was in to have a closer look . Cheers Rob

Notify Rob Love of another trailer in Manitoba!
Rob & Tony,
Better notify Rob Love of another trailer available,He likes collecting them and I am sure he has a spot in the yard for another one! Nice find on the rims and hub covers! Derk.

Rob and Tony
Derk has recently made more room in his yard, and could use this trailer. I already have around 9 or 10 trailers littering the yard....Derk only has one. If it goes cheap at the auction, buy it and drop it off in his driveway.

"Love" take it away...
It's rolling with the 2 good tires/rims I put onto it... The auction is in St Labre Sandilands forest...this Sat. going out Thur. again for one more look around, but all Tony and myself saw on the first look was nothing special. But you have a much more critical eye when it comes to military parts. Cheers Rob

17 Pr warner brake pads
Hi Guys, I own a blank firing 17 pounder and am looking for a source of warner electric brake pad discs for the gun brakes. I tow the gun behind a Morris Portee and the gun really pushes me along on the downhill. The rest of the system is working but the pads are worn out. They are similar to most US Warner trailer brake parts?

For some strange reason the little town of Terrebonne Qc has two 17pdrs sitting beside its miniscule cenotaph down by the river/former mill now library/ island park
I can guarantee no-one in the city knows what they are, nor how they got there..probably decades ago.... I think I might have taken photos of them for an old Convoy mag. The local legion has a 25pdr, but somehow pieces have disappeared from it over the years.. When I first saw it, it was pretty complete...including the wood seat, and traversin platform/ring gone along with just about everything else.. probably thrown out.. not many "collectors" around this area, and I would guess (pure speculation) that they scrapped the heavy ring to get cash,, along with the traversing poles and any other removable metal... as, like all Legions, they're struggling financially..esp as this -was- a mostly "English" legion..and even a decade ago, there were hardly any members...(there's another French Legion in town.) The area has hardly any anglos left.. two anglo schools closed down long ago.
