I just got an old 1940s 4X5 trailer from my dad. It used to be his
Dads and he used it on several of his farms. It has truck size
tires, side rails and a tounge with a twist that is used to tighten
on the ball. The basic ball size can't be easily found anymore. He said it was a kit from Wards in the 40s. The back rail could be
slipped out for long loads or dumping. The problem is that it is
all rotted out and I have no clue what it is supposed to look like.
I want to restore it to its initial dimensions and specifications
but cannot find anything anywhere to give me a clue where to
start. Can someone help?
