I got a call from an old friend who used to install the old type satellite dishes. Said he had some various scrap, among other things an old trailer. He helped me load it on my flatbed with his tractor. It was stuck and hidden in tall grass. here is a pic
Thought it was this one when I got there
Notice the rear jacks. He would mount the 9' dishes in the trailer and use the jacks to level the dish to be able to fine tune before installing.
Anyway I could not stop thinking about this trailer so I gave him a call the next day and I told him I was interested in the trailer. We made a date so I could look at it closer. Got talking and I asked him what he needed for the trailer. He says 2, I go 2 hundred? he says yes. So I say well, let me give you at least 3 hundred. He said that is very kind and generous of you Dave.
In my mind at $300, it is still a steal. He had this trailer custom made a couple decades ago. The wood is a little ripe, so it needs paint and new sides/wood.
Also finally repaired and painted my dolly
