Very little to No information is known on the following single wheels. If you know of any information on any of these trailers or the the manufacturer please contact . | |
Found this on Ebay: SINGLE WHEEL TRAILER - JOHN DEERE - FARMAL - This trailer frame is
made of heavy duty 2 in. angle iron from a John Deere hay rake. The tail wheel assembly is off a John
Deere # 8 mower. It measures 42 in. wide & 40 in. long. Just the right size for a tractor ride trailer. It
has a adjustable tool bar hitch that adj. to fit most tractor draw bars. It could be converted to a 3
point hitch very easy. The tire is weather checked but holds air. E-mail with questions. Must be picked up
in Marshalltown Ia.

Hi, I have a single wheel trailer at my home in France. It is
very well made but dont know if it is a private attempt or a manufacturer. The tyre is bald so it has been
well used, there is an old newspaper in the box dated 1978 so I should think it is '60 or early '70 made.
Any ideas? Cheers Terry Saxby

I found in an old french magazine, Touring 1/ 1958, a picture with a little text from an
ERAH boat with the tow hook at the front. Report and picture accompanies under FR 6. Sent by our friend
Karl.

A visiter to the site sent me a link to a forum at
www.old-droppers.com where I found these 3 unidentified trailer
pictures.

This trailer is the same as my
Box Trailer (AH). Yes, that's my trailer, almost to a fault. my tie down hooks are lower down,
at about frame height, but otherwise it's the same down to the rust. Rather than cutting and welding, I'm
thinking about just having a metal shop fabricate new sides using the originals as templates. They are
simple enough that it shouldn't cost too much. Also, I think the suspension is a quarter elliptic system.
It looks similar to what you'd find on early Sprites,and that's what they had. In answer to your question
about the wheel, I don't have the axle, bearings, or the rim. The box channels in the bed sides of my
trailer have wood inserts which I think might have been for drop in slatted wood sides (like you see on
flat bed trucks). The license plate light and taillight mounts are probably not original. (you were right
about the upside down light) They're gonna go away as soon as I start stripping the frame down. I've
already made arrangements to have new wood cut for the front/rear and bottom of the trailer. Probably,
I'll go with nice beech plywood for looks. I'm pretty sure that the hitch components are original. The
welds that hold the mounting plate on look to be of the same craftsmanship as the rest of the welds on the
trailer. As far as the aircraft pins go....who knows. They are actually part of the reason that I
originally thought that the trailer was an Anthony (looking at the ad you have posted, the hardware
appears to be the same). Does your wheel have a separate, bolt on hub, or are the wheel bearings carried
in the wheel? Owned by Scott Halle |

Unknown trailer Adelaide South Australia Hi, had
this trailer given to me the other day regards, Peter

I e-mailed you a while ago with a pic of my harris trailer that I had found in my town. At
that time I had a frame and wheel assembly for a allstate trailer. I sold the allstate on the Samba to a
guy in Nevada that wanted me to drop it of at his brother in laws house who lived in the same town as me.
Turns out the guy only lived a block away from where I live. So I delivered it and forgot about it. That
is until there was a garage sale at the house across the street from the brother in law, as I was browsing
the sale I noticed a one wheel trailer sticking out of some blackberries. I asked about it and they gave
it to me. So here is a pic. Not sure what it is. I looked at your site and could not match it up, and
there are no marks except that it is patented, however there is no number. The tire is a riverside (ward)
Tell me what you think. I will take some better pics too if you would like. Owned by
Toby Pond.

This single wheel trailer appears to be
older model. It's currently registered with license plate and the date showed 1964 because the date for
the trailer was unknown. it's a very strong trailer and comes with new tire, wheel bearing and it needs
wiring harness to complete the trailer. As shown on photos you will see that the arms has been welded and
added for hitch balls. I was planning on using it for my old bus but I have several trailers and have no
use for this trailer. Owned by Sal
Updated pictures This trailer is a heavy duty trailer and rides very smooth. It's all wired neatly. It's currently wired for US version tail lights but can be changed to European. It comes with cargo net, 2 brackets with hitch balls. It's currently registered. Owned by Sal.

Was hoping you could help me out in identifying this trailer. Who manufactured it, what year, what is
it worth etc. It is an all metal trailer, both sides and bed. The wheel (4.00-8 tire) has a hydrolic
shock vs. leaf springs, there is no identifying tag or markings anywhere. Ever seen anything like this? Owned by Matt.

Found this on ebay. "Not sure if this is an allstate or not. There is a tag on the front
but its rusty and I can't read it. Looks like someone startedto redo it but I am not positive. The tire is
flat. Cool looking little rig. The legs fold up."
|
It has a galvanized steel box bolted to a welded aluminum frame, so rust should never be a
problem, plus it's very lightweight. The arms holding the wheel say "trailcar, Oakland,CA &
Chicago,Ill". There is a hinged lid w/prop rod and two compartments inside. Owned by
John Kyte Contact Chris at Thanks for looking.
