Yes. A "bespoke" dumpcart. Whatever the hell that is...
I should probably stick to plywood for function, but I'm suddenly envisioning slats like the back of a custom pickup. If I go bolts, they need to be sunken not to mess with shoveling stuff out.
I did though think of swapping the HF rims to the JD, but the through axle on the JD is 7/8 and the holes on the HF rims are 3/4 I.D. The through axle on the JD is permanently rusted into place.
More importantly though is the OFFSET of the JD rims.
That trailer has the right stance. 
Thanks guys, now I'm really inspired on my next needless project.
edit- I think the HF was a farmall red (or some type of red). I sprayed it FORD blue and that gave it a good 18 months! |
If you use a 5/16 bolt just drill the hole for the bolt then take a larger bit close to the size of the bolt head and it will draw right in as you tighten the nut. If you want the nut on the inside do the same as above but hammer the nut into the hole then thread the bolt in. Done it this way several times.
BTW, I think I might have created a monster!
