Default my "cub" trailer
I'm not sure where I should put this thread, so i'll try here. Moderators please advise if incorrect.
I picked up this trailer about 6 months ago with the intent of making a "cub" lawn cart. It is not an international trailer. But I liked the look of it. The trailer was in rough shape but solid. I started by taking the axle and springs off and used electrolysis to remove the rust. It looked like the axle, springs, mounts and wheels were galvanized originally.
I used a side grinder with heavy wire wheels to remove rust from the rest of the trailer. I did most on a 3 day weekend and forgot to take pics, sorry.

If it were mine I'd be pulling it and not putting my cub on it.

Some more pictures.
I had some spare 682 front wheels that fit the axle. I think i like the cub wheels better than the galvanized boat trailer wheels that i was gonna put on it. I was thinking about red, but I liked the look of the fenders and thought the almond would look better with them.
I then found some cold galvanizing from Rustoleum I used on the fenders, axle, springs and spring mounts like what originally came on trailer.

The trailer is only 4 ft x 4.5 ft so it will be a yard cart. I got it painted. Waiting on decals from Binder books to finish. I have thought about spray in liner for inside to bed, but think it may take away from the looks of trailer. I will post pics when decals are added.

Looks but I think I would have had it sand blasted to get every nook and cranny.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
