The end assemblys are then attached to the tube and secured in place by some long pins. The front end of the box will be lifted by the tractor and the sea can will be moved like a rather large trailer.

The really interesting thing about the end assemblies is that they can be used for moving other items - such as CMPs that are missing wheels or have "frozen" wheels.

Good job in my opinion.

Good work! Better get the Canadian patent in place, then sell the manufacture rights to Princess Auto....... In fact those look like Princess auto hubs............

While on the topic of Princess Auto, did you see the "English Wheel" that they are now carrying.

That would make an excellent addition to your metal works shop. Wonderful for making up all sorts of curved pieces for CMP.

One other new addition is a shop gantry, for those of us without double I beams in the work shop. Only rated for 1 ton, but suitable for those of us working on Iltis.....
