    MYCO Trailer Rebuild!

    I though about replacing this trailer but when I saw the cost of a new one I decided rebuilding this one would just a fine idea. Putting new disk brakes along with a new actuator, new LED lights, paint, and so on...more pictures to come

    Great job!!! I agree with the rebuild-restore idea. After restoring many vintage trailers for use with my "Boat Collection" as my wife call it, one thing I have seen is that the savings is considerable! Also some of the old coil spring trailers ride a LOT better than the leaf springs and most are ajustable. Gary

    I wish I would have known about those kind of brakes in my younger years.

    i wish my Myco was rebuildable. Rusted up bad. Buying new Owens and Sons Aluminum slide on.

    I had my "83" Bronco done in Imrom in the early 90s and she still looks "Brand New" even after using her bird hunting in the Maine woods! Gary

    sumfast Looks sweet! Nice job and better than droppin the $ for a new rig. I have always felt the satisfaction of restoring is way better than the $ saved. Gary
