tkobes43 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hey guys I don't know exactly where this would go, but if its not in the right spot can someone move it. Im looking for a 1950s? round nose reefer trailer. Any shape is fine. Gonna eventually tow it behind my 59' mack. If you have one, let me know.Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25347-round-nose-reefer-trailer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea where i could find that "putt putt" motor for the reefer?TomPretty much anywhere,most of them were just your garden variety Briggs&Stratton lawnmower engines,all they did was use a small fan to circulate cool air throughout the trailer which was provided by blocks of ice,or "blown-in" ice (small chips) this type set-up is what my dad started on many years ago,he said sometimes they'd go through 8-1200 pounds of ice between Jersey and Florida with a load of produce on!....................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

We spent every day unloading wooden baskets/hampers of various vegetables off of trailers, opening the basket tops and putting a scoop of crushed ice on the turnip greens, other produce, etc. and reloading them back on the trailer.I sure slept well at night....
