Be gone to the farm starting monday for five or six days, be after that before I get started on this. Are you up for a ride after Thanksgiving? Looks like they will be done with my quad by the time we come back so will be bringing it home. Maybe the following monday?

I used a 4'X8'X1/2" exterior plywood and used some carriage bolts to bolt it on. I never fold the trailer so I didn"t cut it in half. I even fabbed some outside rails from some 1/2"X3" pieces using 2X4 for posts and used brackets for the corners and used a couple of hasps to hold the rear cross piece with hitch pins to hold them. The post brackets were in the kit. I assembled the trailer with my left arm in a cast in about 2 hours. With both arms, 45 minutes to an hour I would guess.

My little trailer tows real well behind the Ranger and the F250. Biggest problem with the F250 is with no quad on the trailer you can't see it and with the camper on the truck you can't see it no matter how you load it. But it makes the 2 quad trips real easy and I don't have to break out the big trailer.

Actually what I'll probably do is put it together with the assistance of the old dude that lives next door. He's always wanting to get involved with any project I start. Gives us both a chance to drink lots of coffee. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I think the 30th would work fine. Nothing going on that I'm aware of at any rate and friend wife doesn't know of any conflicts. Sounds like fun.

what do you think TC, pull the reed cage back out of it, stand it on its tail end and crank it over?

You might try one of the motorcycle forums and get some advice there.
