The shepherd hut builders love them, they go mad if you either have axles or the stubs.
Oddly i find a matching set of wheels is worth more like Piers valuation of a decent box.

in which case hedd why did you sell a set on ebay for 130£? I was under bidder to put them on the bailer?
it's staying on landrover rubbers for now....
most I paid for a drum was 1500, though that had family history so to me was priceless, least paid I was given them. I currently have 3 a foster a ransomes and a humphries, 2 working and one project. I agree having scrapped one before for parts, and that's not so so easy as it sounds if your going to salve all the shafts and the bearings metal parts etc, etc.... weigh in around 200£ plus wheels, the fronts may make shepard huts but the rears are too big and in honesty both are too heavy, better off with straw elevator or similar, they do fit on portables though...and could make a tender cart...
