Fenside MF Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I started this about 2 weeks ago as I wanted as small grain trailer and was thinking of painting it in griffiths colours with silver tims wheels. Any questions please fire away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Nicely done, will you keep super singles on it or change for the smaller agri tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendt-man-matty Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 looks great there, i think i would mind making a smaller one myself, so how or where abouts did you shorten it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 looks great there, i think i would mind making a smaller one myself, so how or where abouts did you shorten it?? Thanks Matty,I shortened the front of the trailer body by cutting off the headboard part with an angle grinder and sanding and filing the body (and headboard off cut) to make sure that it was square when I stuck the headboard off cut back on as I wanted to keep the hydraulic door. And then shortened the rear of the chassis to the size of the body and repostioned the axles. Hope that helps a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 ah right yep i can picture it in my head hard work that would be no its pretty easy, just remember to cut all the bits straight and when you rejoin the rear end to the chassis strenthen it with plasitc inside the chassis rails, even a few bits of brass rods drilled and glues in there to, otherwise the tipper can force the end of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
