Power Red Friday Here.

It got unseasonably warm here Thursday and Friday. I huried up a bit and was able to take the body of the little hyd dump trailer that I am fabing outside and get it painted. My shop is not set up for inside painting. I didn't have time to put the finishing touches on the tailgate, or front headboard frame, but sounds like I will get another chance this coming week to paint them Power Red.
I will get the hyd cylinder, brackets and hoses bolted into the trailer frame today. Plan on makeing wood sideboards and front headboard, and fenders. I bet you can't guess what color that I'm going to paint them.
The trailer will hold 67cu.ft struck load @ top of rails.
The lift cylinder that I'm using was the bucket cyl. salvaged off a 281 loader, and the toung is off a 220 baler. The running gear was a WFE 2056 6T running gear that I scrounged from a former customer. The wagon had rolled away on a hill and got bent up pretty bad.
My biggest expense was welding supplies and paint.
I'll post pics later of the finished project.

I have the Axle/chassis/A-frame from a NI spreader with 20" wheels and thoughts of doing the same. That should be real handy.
 
I got the dump cyl. and hoses all bolted into the frame this morning. Got the front bulkhead all ready for paint, but it only got up to 33F in the sun. Also got one fender frame mocked up. The fenders/step will bolt on.

(quoted from post at 05:46:10 12/01/15) That is a real nice lookin rig Loren! Should work well for you.
Nice, I have seen old turd hearses used for carrying fire wood. The on I looked at still had the delivery chain still on the floor and was used to move the pile to the rear of the spreader for easy un loading. I really like the way you have set yours up with the bed lifting.... Again very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
