archbarch Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I take it you mean the Shawnee Poole type dump trailer??? ive never cut one up but from what i can remember of them i reckon it would be solid. I think this was one of the best trailers Britains have ever made, it was well built, accurate and functionable. I actually used a Shawnee Poole dump trailer rigged up to a Muir Hill 101 when i worked for a drainage contractor....happy times!!!!!

Tractorman810 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Got one in the shed for work but built the western instead but will pop out and check it when I get home from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 right just checked, its in two halfs, at the front, where the lever is for tipping through to the point the linkage fits , then going backwards where it splits to the a frame chassis, its a solid arm to the wheel point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Interested Spectator Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Tractorman810, Thanks for that. I keep coming across these trailers with broken hitches for sale for a couple of quid. I was thinking about cutting the goose neck of at its base and grafting on a normal draw bar. This will be a lot easier if the chassis is hollow. cheers, adie.
