Title: Harbor Freight Folding Trailer.

Picked up the 12" tire and 4'x8' bed unit today and have it assembled. Nice Kit. Bunch of nut's and bolts though. Instructions could have been better.

Put a hitch on the Escape as well. Road trip to KS. coming up and want to haul the RC ST machine I bought from Zadd back to Spokane. And anything that might find on the way :-)

12 inch wheels spin at a real high RPM on the
highway so keep wheel bearings greased.
 
      Oh yeah.........don't try and bring home too many
machines  :jawdrop:

HA! Creighton do not overload the trailer or it will look like the donkey picture!! Don't want to pass you here on these Kansas roads and say, "there is Creighton". Hope you find some goodies here in Kansas. I live in Olathe. Have not found much here where I live, but down near Branson they have some stuff!

I had one a while back. I ended up fitting 2 machines and all of my stuff on it and drove 950 miles. It did great. It was a little overloaded but it didn't sway at all. You will like it. It is a pain to fold though. You will need to work out another way to run the light wiring As it always snagged on mine when you fold it up. I built the sides myself. It was cheep and easy.

Hey you could take home this vendo 128 can machine too. Everything works fine and it cools great. If anything I think the compressor unit is the same as the 60's vendo machines. If anyone else is interested let me know :)

Glen, Great picture and bearing tip!!
Josh, You are spot on. The wiring is very lame. Will need to rework it.

Have had a change of plans and just won't have time to take the trailer this trip. It is very close to Coke red. It should have Spirit Boy hub caps, pinstripping and about 12 coke stickers before it hits the road anyway ... not :-)

Zadd and Brian I'll PM and see if we cant have a mini SMC convention. Not going to make Branson this trip. Hope to go back and do that in the fall.

Thanks!!
Creighton

When you hit up Branson let me know I live about 2 hrs from there, Eric I believe lives about 2 1/2 North of Branson.
