What is this?
 

Hi, after getting a free trailer from my grandparents friend, I ended up getting another yard cart with it. Is this yard cart made from a cub trailer? Both trailers were free. Sorry about pic quality, I'll try when it gets brighter out.

If it ever was a Cub Cadet cart, it was a newer one. None of the old "numbered" carts had a hitch like that in combination with that dump mechanism. That looks like a newer style, but painted white.

The pictures are difficult to tell. Looks like the angular "tank" of a number one cart riding in the frame of something else. Certainly is alot of frame work around/under the dump portion. I have a feeling it is home made. Could be pieces of multiple different carts put together. :Unknown: But hey! If it works and it was F R E E? You win!

No way...... :RollEyes2:

What do you think
 

Got some more pics. The dump lever seems familiar. The tank has two extra holes that were botled shut.

The tub on top is for mixing cement, the rest looks like part of an old garden cart and some custom welded steel.

Wish I lived in whatever part of IA where people give away free trailers. :biggrin2:

Don't we all?:biggrin2:

yeah i think it started its life as a typical dumping 10cubic foot lawn cart and got "customized" from there...

An ALUMINUM trailer no less! Nice!

Update
 

Got trailer home on sunday, unloaded it and noticed some problems. They were that the manufacurer had mounted the hitch bar to the middle of the bed, so it would flex in the middle. We can modify/fix it to cub hauling safe. However it can safely hold some things, we still need to get liscense plates for it.
Anyway, there was some storms that came through today and knocked down a big branch. I used the trailer to haul the sticks to the neighbors burn pile, we will cut the rest into firewood. Here are some pics.
