Restoring a 10 Cwt trailer
this has been very well covered before in detail by Jordan Baker , but i really like trailers . I recently bought another 10 Cwt Canadian trailer by Brantford Coach & Body . It is No 80 as a serial number . So here is the story .

10 Cwt trailer
Nice complete box . Nice frame , no rust issues , holes or dents . Pristine fenders. Complete undercarriage with good brake liners .

the resurrection
Sandblasting & priming . I had to deal with four layers of paint of different colours . First , the original Army green OD , then red , after that orange and finally Aquamarine blue . All those layers of paint protected the good Canadian steel over the years and explain the exceptional condition of the trailer . Perfect brake drums that don’t need to be turned or polished and below the complete combat wheels that turned out to be almost like new.

Combat wheels
I have to find the brake cylinders to mount inside here . Mac´s is a good source but expensive to ship . Does anybody know of a source in Canada ? Kelsey Hayes combat wheels mark . I have never seen better condition original Jeep wheels . They were mounted on the 10 Cwt trailer at the factory .

Combat wheels
The combat wheels still had their bead spreaders installed from the factory over 76 -77 years ago ! A pain to get dissassembeled. Oh what a pain ... Can anyone tell me why they were used ?
