This summer I broke the frame on our bale trailer. It’s a 16’ triple axle gooseneck trailer with a hydraulic tilt deck and a bale rack. It’s a big screw around to replace a frame rail and it has mobile home 14.5” tires that are shot and is just generally a POS.
I started looking for a replacement gooseneck trailer and came across a truck for about 1/2 what I was willing to pay for a new (to me) trailer.
It’s a 53 Ford F600, it runs. The brakes need work.
I’m going to make it stop, make it safe, and probably upgrade the window maker 20” Firestone RH5° wheels to 19.5” motorhome wheels, rebuild the deck, and replace the seat with a seat from the middle row of a Chev Suburbon or Tahoe. My bale rack should fit on the 16’ deck.
Oh, and it has a tilt deck, the hydraulic pump is missing but the pto and the rest of the hydraulics all appear to be there.
