Trailer repair

Send it off to India and they'll weld it up while turning it in a shagged out Colchester lathe. Probably cost about £25 with shipping.

and some of those safety flip flops thrown in .

A local farmer bought a new ATV trailer for carting sheep etc, about. New design with what looked like road tyres, as he wanted to do road work between his two farms (5miles apart). Only had it a few weeks and one axle sheared. On checking he found the tyres were still supposed to be blown up to 5psi, because they still provided the suspension, like the earlier balloon type. He had blown them up to 35psi because they looked like truck tyres.

lucky he didnt bung 100 psi in them , as the compressor wont do 120 ..

I had one of them come past me earlier behind a pickup. He had 4 sheep in and I wasn’t hanging about. Made me look like I was stood still!

Was expecting to see a big mess further along the road but he made it home ok I assume
