Spent the weekend wire-brushing and painting the utility trailer
Posted By RichC on August 27, 2024
The “flowers photo” was not the purpose of this post, but because the tiny purple flowers looked so nice this past weekend, I took a photo (I should know the name or at least take the time to look it up … but I’m not).
BUT the real reason was to archive the very messy wire-brushing and de-rusting of my old rusty orange Bame Utility Trailer that doubles as both as a large yard trailer and small “behind the car” utility trailer. It has been excellent over the years, but has seen better days.
It needed a complete overhaul so first was to remove as much rust as possible … then repack the bearings, order new rubber tires and finally repair the damage wiring and plug from long ago. For good measure i’ll be adding new wooden sides someday so that I can continue to haul logs, leaves and hopefully some more lumber back from Katelyn and Drew’s garage.
Does the color look familiar? I had some leftover John Deere GREEN paint from when I inherited and repair Dad Howard’s lawn tractor trailer. 😊
EDIT Add 8/29/2024: The new tires arrived although I still have to get the safety chains and electrical wiring updated (and eventually new wooden sides).
