Default Carrier Trailer

Hi all - ever since I became involved with Carriers my dream was to obtain one of these trailers. Another MLUer has one of these but I will let him respond.

A Northern Territory pioneer and trucker, Kurt Johannsen, bought twenty three of these trailers after the war and converted them to the first self tracking trailers for carting cattle. He described them as "they had two big wheels and stub-axles welded onto the frame and a spare tyre and wheel, all with big almost brand new 1125 x 20 tyres on them"

The above is an extract from his book A Son Of The Red Centre, a well worthwile read.

Bob
