Mystery trailer

[davidk]

Can anyone help ID this trailer? Has a 1958 Glastron on it. The trailer was originally painted turquoise. Has a unique lifting system. Round pipe almost like a Gator.

The hubs on this trailer have a style of seal that I haven’t seen before. Mostly rubber with a metal backing plate.
anyone seen these before?

I came across some of those old Allis seals somewhere years ago. Don’t know if you could find those Allis seals anymore but a comparable unit is an SKF seal #16286. I think that type of seal is often found on engine crankshaft seals and some transmission input shaft seals.

Thanks for the reply, Bobw, and for the cross reference to SKF. I took some measurements but I don’t have full confidence with a caliper.

The Trailer, I believe is a Tee-Nee. The rail the boat keel sits on is on almost all Tee-Nees. The winch support and round pipe under it look like there may have been some home-brew modifications, or someone may have swapped some Tee Nee structure onto something else..

Thanks for your input, Dave. Cool to see all the brochures. I’m familiar with Tee Nee trailers and I don’t see the resemblance here. The rail the boat sits on with Tee Nee trailers has that groove for the keel to sit in but it’s metal and part of the boxy main frame. On this trailer, there are wooden forms for the keel to set in. The winch stand is made of the same round pipe that the main frame is. I’m sure it’s original.

From the blue paint I would say Holzclaw trailer

It looks to me like the keel rollers are able to be raised to launch and retrieve and lowered to allow keel to be fully supported by wood sections.Is that correct?

[davidk]

That’s right, Stanley
