Question landy wheels and hubs

Found a twin axle trailer for sale which appears to have early landrover hubs and wheels. one axle (axel, axl ) has plain hubs and the other, mechanical overide brakes. all tyres are 600-16 "Kuhmo" bar tread look-a-likes. as I am a relative newbie to this addiction, my question is; are these worth anything as it would be easy to swap out the axle set or just the hubs, punt the trailer and keep the bits

G'day Paul

First thing to do is grab some piccys of the trailer and post them on this thread. There have been a whole heap of trailers made using Landy bits so if you can photograph the rims and hubs I am sure you will get the advice you are seeking. Good luck

G'day pop058

Yup! they sure look like Landrover rims, and the lead axle lookslike it may have holden type cable operated hand brake, or very modified SWB hubs & drums the tyres are 6.00 x 16 Kumo LT types, they also fit the early Suzuki and WW11 Jeeps

cheers
