And what SHOULD I do with this little tetanus infested trailer that darkens my yard with a constant shower of endless rust?
I got it from my dad's house when he died. It WAS a durable as hell John Deere trailer. Constructed from depleted uranium, and built to last- years of neglect, storing fertilizer, and general abuse STILL haven't completely killed it. Even my dad's dementia and hoarding issues couldn't kill it.
He tried. He tried his best. I think he about 80% succeeded. (if he was here, he'd be laughing at this thread.. so there...)
It is rusted through the bottom and STILL has more metal heft than my cheapo harbor freight cart.
And there lies my conundrum for the Hunley.
I "could" buy new tires for it.
I "could" spray several bottles of PB blaster on it
I "could" pay someone to sandblast it (but there might not be anything left)
After Sandblasting, I "could" even patch in some sheet metal.
I "could" toss it... and probably "should" toss it, but it is still larger, sturdier, and stronger than my cheap chinese POS trailer.
Anyhow. Enough blabbering. Thoughts?
Behold, The old JD cart :
The HF cart: (so lightly built the grass crushes the side and the pulling arm is broken)
