333 viewsThe single-wheel. For those not familiar with this type of trailer, the wheel assembly is on a pivot, just like the front wheel on a shopping cart i.e. a castor (wheel). Since I backed the trailer in the driveway the castor is further under the trailer. When I pull the trailer forward, the castor will pivot 180-degrees, thus placing the castor further rearward.

pulley_lock_002.jpg
316 viewsMy original pulley lock that I got a previous mechanic to whittle out of steel for me. It's rough but it still serves me well to this day. This is what inspired me to design the newer version, using www.emachineshop.com CAD software and manufacturing.
Though it can be used with the engine out of the car, it makes the job much easier when the engine is in the car and the pulley fan needs to be removed.
