Default Dump trailer project

I'm not sure where to post this, I'm sure the moderators can help me out. Anyway I'm in the beginning phase of converting my manual dump trailer into a electric dump, maybe with remote control? I've hade this trailer for at least 35 years it has been painted once to match my earlier mtd huskey. I've reinforced the tongue and the axle assembly and floor years ago to handle the extra weight I've put in it so its a good hd trailer. The plan is to sand and paint it cub yellow with a rino coat for the bed , (after all what else would I want to pull behind the cubs lol) also to add a electric actuator for the lift I'll keep ya posted on the progress.

Rino/bed liner type coatings don't allow things to slide well in the dump position.
Slip plate allows a clean dump, but wears off easily. BTDT

Yah I thought about that after I posted the project, I'm rethinking the coating. Thanks for the tip.

UHMW poly works great for the bottom.

A sheet of UHMW at Grainger, 4' by 6', 1/8" thick is $173.86 plus shipping.

I would use KBS Rust Seal for the bed, and unless you are worried about color correctness, the whole cart.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
