    With a little head scratching I'll bet you can make a nice trailer for hauling lawn tractors.
    Very good investment.
    You can get $100. out of it any day.

    $100?? they've got a little 4x6 at orchlyns @ $450, and that one maybe better. What does it measure between the fenders NA ?
    One little check you might find useful is to raise each wheel off the ground and do a pull/push at the top, and again on the sides to check for any play/looseness. It should spin freely(with no grumbling noises of any kind inside, and no rough spots/drags) but not wiggle any side to side

    Real nice. With those stake pockets, building sides would be a snap. Looks like maybe 5x7'. If I was closer, I'd be offering to buy it. Just at first look - $250.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I'm guessin closer to a 4x10. I'm also gonna bet it is tricky to back up, and suggest building those sides high enough to see through the center(windshield) rear view mirror, because that may be the only way you'll be able to "aim" it ; )

    you should use it yourself. are the pockets smaller than 3 1/2 inches? if they're just a bit under they'll work perfect with 2x4s, and it'll be easy to screw together some sideboards around it. Two half inch sheets of plywood will be enough to put solid sides 3 ft tall all around it. Two 14 ft 2x4s will make eight 3.5ft stakes. Be sure to get treated 2x4s, they're much stronger, tougher, and they'll last lots longer

    Yexs, they are smaller. I have plywood at dads but I will have to buy the stake boards. Lol, I was thinking, I'll never see that hing in my side mirrors but if I have sides I'll be able to see it in the rear view.
