    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    Adding on again! I just took a few photos of the axle hub on the lube trailer for the benefit of one of the members who wanted to see the suspension system on these things. What I found interesting is the spacer for this trailer! Looks almost as if you could bolt it onto deuce axles for some...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    Just an update on the progress on my trailer. I cleaned the hopper in preparation for the GAA grease yesterday then stocked it with the two pails of GAA that I bought from a guy named Bagwell in New York. I filled the air tank via my shop compressor (still have to get the trailer compressor...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    The GAA grease arrived this evening via UPS - 88 pound parcel with two metal containers of the good stuff. Also bought the final part that I need to complete the valve setup at the end of each hose. I called Northern Tools and found out my backordered valve would not be shipped until late...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    Making some progress on my lube trailer. I bought all of the necessary fittings to hook up my grease guns and the one oil meter valve that I have. I took the grease guns and oil meter over to Northern Tools and matched up the parts right in the store. I also took a coupling fitting from one...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    Speddmon, thank you for the info about the buttonhead fittings. I went back this morning and did a search under that heading and found that you had answered my question about these fittings which I have never seen before. I wound up with about six of these in my trailer but no way to use them...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    Thanks for the compliment Desert Deuce. I love your trailer and wish mine were half as nice! Eventually I will get everything working but for now just obtaining a few parts will be the top priority. Do you live in Phoenix? A friend of mine lives out there or at least his wife does anyway -...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    I am "adding on" again, this time with some modifications that I have made which are going to assist me in getting the system up and running. I bought three 1/2" ball valves over at Harbor Freight Tools today and installed them on the lead-in hoses to each of the pumps. I can turn off the pump...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    I forgot one photo of some oddball parts that came with my lube trailer called "Button Head Fittings". Looks like something that would go on a bulldozer or very large piece of heavy equipment of some sort. Anyone know how these are used? I think I have about six of these and my buddy Lavarok...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    I am working on making my Lube Trailer functional once again and just ordered a new lubricant meter valve from Northern Tools (on sale right now). I still need one more of these, preferably a mechanical unit like the ones that came with the trailer so if anyone has one they want to sell, PM me...

    Lubrication Trailer Resoration ???

    I noticed in one of your photos that you have a totally different roller system in your trailer - mine has full-length rollers that turn on very crude spindles and bases. If you look closely at the photos you will see that one side of the roller shaft slips into a hole (probably 3/8" in...
