Converto Dump Trailer Found

Post by TwoCar » Thu Dec 01, 2016 6:57 am

Hey Guys.

I was lucky enough to find another Converto and thought that I'd share some photos of it. The tub is in good shape, with one small rust hole in the front left corner, frame and axle look nice. The landing leg and safety bolt are locked up but should be already to loosen them. The dump plunger works nice as well. There is a data plate on the frame, but I'll have to clean off the fresh coat of red paint to see what it says. Thanks for looking.

Looks like a state registration plate...NOT military. This dumper is in nice condition. 8)

Thanks Topkick. I agree, after all it's PA...this state has to make a buck on everything! :-) It really is in nice shape. I was lucky to find it.
