Transport

Our local Hardware conglomerate raised the minimum freight to 50% so needing form ply shelving I made my own semi trailer using my large dissability scooter and a bike trailer. Takes but a minute to couple up using a tie rod end off a new Mercedes front end.Works so we already saved me a hundred $. Picked up the trailer for 20$. the tie rod end jobbed out for 9$.

Pretty clever!

Where there's a will, there's a way. Well done.

Now that is pretty cool

Shouldn't a long load like that have a pilot chair following?

Great thinking. Was the owner of the Mercedes okay with losing a tie rod end?? I probably have a few W126 chassis tie rod ends on the garage shelf, would have been willing to check & donate to your project, but shipping would have been a wee expensive!!

Nice, Peter! How far did you have to haul it?

Ingenuity at its best. Well done.
