It's a neat little trailer, but a quick search put the price around 12K which is more than that little bunk house unit I put up above. Honestly still thinking of going used, if I do anything.

got my little trailer a little closer to being done... got the springs re-attatched.. then pulled the axle hubs apart... both the seals were shot.. one side looked fine except the bearings were rusted and the grease was the consistency of mud and very green... the other side the outer bearing race was lightly scored... the inner bearing race was alot more scored... the inner one the bearing looked crushed which probably caused the deep scoring there... grease was the same way... thick as mud and green as grass.. cleaned it all out.. then painted the hub.. tore apart the new coupler and painted it... and once i got the tires off the old rims i cleaned them up and painted those... will work on getting more of it back together... hopefully the rest of the way... just need to figure out what i want to put on the top of the box frame now...

All is good here Larry. How’s the little one doing?

Helped Catherine get caught up on her yard work at the new house. Took her to Lowe’s to get a weed eater. She wanted one of those battery jobs. Got it going, set it up and put it to work. It’s night and day lighter than my four stroke one. I might actually like weed eating using that thing.

I might go get one and sell the push mower and cub cadet weed eater.

I've got 2 cordless trimmers. 1 B&D, 1 Worx. The thing that is nice is that don't have to "bump" to feed the line and, when the battery wears down....so do I...

Whaddupp fellers!
I've finally been able to replace my air compressor that we sold when we had our moving sale before our move to NC.
Found a smoking deal on brand new Porter Cable, 60 gallon, 5 hp on clearance for $400 !
It took a 6 hours round trip to get one though. There wasn't one left in Missouri at all, and 8, well 7 in Kansas.
But it's in the garage and hop[e to be wired up and fired up this weekend, and back to work on Ka'Bluey's dash.
Then for fall and winter the bed is coming off and going on some metal saw horses.

Y'all behave, don't make me come back there.

It's made by the same company that made your Kobalt that is $549, and also the DeWalt compressor that is $749, both at Home Depot. It's the same machine, different color and brand name, and less money.

different compressor belt cage too... yours looks like a steel cage mines plastic and hugs the belt... i find the plastic fittings annoying for the pressure shutoff switch... popped 3 of them off right after we bought it before finally getting a good one...
