plastic fuel and oil cans started in the late 50s but not till the 70s and the advancements of HDPE did they become ubiquitous Shell was using them in the 50s HERES A 1966 ADVERTISEMENT 🤓 tho you could remove the water box, plastic jugs, posters, and radio, and then id have to start looking at the cigarettes and what electrical code the socket's are built to

would still be dirt floors in the UK in the 50s, concrete floors are for people who dont do work in their sheds (pushes up glasses, actually the best workshop floors were parquet oak, 6 inches thick, grain facing up)

i welded along the flat bit and then the open end is welded to the trailer too. so probably the same or better than a normal weld on tie down loop. they are 10mm, and cheaper than trailer loops. for main wheel ties id probably do some waterjet plates welded as much as possible mainly suggesting as a waybtonget as many ties as possible for junk collecting. they are perfect size for ratchet strap ends, ever borrowed a trailer and the hooks dont fit in the tie down poonts, holy shit

Pulled it apart to see today Control boards look fine, tested everything i could test. Inspected pump, solenoids, all the switches Nothing wrong with it. Maybe the chip has shit itself, that's about all I can't test. Date of 2019 on the board. What rubbish

I did my little trailer with a bunch of 2nds facia/barge board. Can get it in 40x200 (which is 180x29 because dressed timber is retarded)

However, the length might be good for jims antique lawnmowing. I thinknyou could stash a mower and fuel on front

Picked up a little cage a while ago. Width is good, about a ft too short. But $5 is good have a few of thescaffold clamps i used as tie down points left over, so might put a couple on the corners to help attach it A cover would also be good

There's only mention of frontal. Impact rules, and those don't apply if it's 20yrs old anyways
