Exciting find.

Yesterday I was overseeing a whole house generator installation for a  friend. This lady, along with her late husband, made it possible for my ‘B’-160 that I bought new to come back to me. Most of you know the scoop on that. I was over there the better part of the day and swapped out a couple light fixtures as the generator installation progressed. Early in the afternoon she said “I’ve got something else you’re going to want”. We walked out to the garage and she moved a few things to uncover this:

 

I’ve been looking for a trailer like this but really didn’t think I’d find one especially in this shape. Zero rust and pitting and just a little bit of a repair on the rear lip. I offered to pay for it but she just said I could have it. It’s not the original paint so I’ll give it a fresh coat and correct the wheel color. I’m also thinking truck bed coating would be nice in the bed. The grandkids will love riding around in this.

Very nice Bob. I sold two of them at the show this year, but neither were as nice as that. You got a great price.

Nice score on the wagon bob  ! Way nicer than my $30 cart .

 

My house was was built by a man who owned a electrical business (I have two 200amp boxes)....I might need you to come to my house. I still have switches that I don't know what they do   ...  !

I was an electrical contractor when I build the house in North Liberty in 1988. Yup, definitely took it to the limit. But two 200 amp panels????? I had a 200 amp drop to the 200 in the pole bard and a 100 and a 60 in the house. The 60 went through a transfer switch mounted in the barn.

 

Ya know, based on your comment in another thread that you weren't all that far from Fort Wayne you may not be all that far from me.

@Racinbob very nice find. Great condition. The reason @ACman has 2 panel is he needs one dedicated panel so when he attaches the positive  and negative wires to the bolts in @ACcuz 's neck he does not blow the whole system.

I haven't seen them personally , but most likely it's commercial   . All I know it's overkill on the panel . The electric going to my barn is fed on 60amp fuse  going out to my 100amp box in the barn . Now this is what I've been told by others , but seen how other things were done around here I wouldn't doubt it .

They are just spares. Kinda like all the knobs on Radio's in the 30's!

A 60 amp feeder to a 100 amp rated panel really isn't a problem. Vice-versa would be. There's a lot more to it but if your wire size is correct you are fine............at least with that situation.

That is a nice looking wagon.  I don't know about the bed liner stuff though...if you are just hauling around kids, you just need some straw.
