jeep43 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 As if I need another project! Acquired this yesterday, appears to be very different from my other light weight machinery trailer. It came along with the round eye hitch not shown (50mm ball hitch currently attached) It has square nut heads which hold the boards on, although suspect boards may not be original? Chassis looks correct for a 10 CWT type, however point of attachment for rear tow hitch appears to be different to others that I have seen. The front man handles would if not rusted fold forward and be held in position with a screwed sleeve on each side. Wheel hubs are also different in that they only have 4 studs. Wheel rims also have 3 stud fixings around outer rim suggesting the fitting of hub caps obviously not a military requirement!!!! I welcome any help that may be able to identify its age/manufacturer/military connection or civilian. Richard Ever hopeful of finding a more sane hobby!

Tony Lawrence Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Definitely civilian, possibly Brockhouse who produced a range of small trailers pre-war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep43 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Tony Cheers for your prompt response. Although no military connection it is still a very well built trailer with many characteristics of the 10cwt war time chassis, axles etc and is still good for many years service. :cool2: Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Brookhouse did manufactuer an ARP trailer, just wiped the illustration off the computer :red: But very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
