May 1943 Ben Hur Mfg trailer FS

Post by SteveG » Thu Feb 25, 2021 7:48 pm

Have a super straight Ben Hur trailer FS. Made by Ben Hur Mfg, in May 1943. Correct original data plate and USA number on the tailgate. Comes with all the parts you see in the pictures and includes 2 nice original axle assemblies for these trailers. Trailer is located in Central California. Bed is arrow straight, with absolutely no pitting. Powdery rust on the outside, but no pitting. Complete landing gear and wheel assembly, with wheel. Wheels are 1943 dated also and have been blasted and painted. Includes two real nice original Ben Hur Mfg front frame rails too. This will make a sweet trailer! Price is $1250.00

Nice trailer!
What does the serial number say? I suspect it’s starts with an H as it looks to be a generator trailer.

1942 T2 wla
1942 Bantam
1942 WC40

Awesome putting it up right now. By chance do you have pictures of the landing fork etc on the front end and do you have the fenders for it?

Matt,
Thanks for asking. I didn't realize they weren't pictured. Surprised this trailer isn't gone yet. Hard to find a better restoration candidate this nice anymore!
