Retro Newbie
Got this yesterday. I'm not finding any information on it on the www. Looks like it may be missing something to hold the hitch joint up so it doesn't fall to the ground. I suppose it had some cargo container too. 12" tires. Mostly aluminum construction. Seeking instructions or flyers with complete photos.

from the labels:

Your intermediate hitch needs to be vertical not horizontal -

There's an indent that the swingarm (A) fits in to.
Then the trailer can pivot in turning around the upright at B:

So I think you have everything, just need to align and orient it👍
 
Ahh, that worked, Thanks.

Discovered a 16" tube wadded up in the 12" tire. And the tube was slimed that had congealed and made the wheel very out of balance and gunked up the valve. The tire had duct tape on it. Another attempt to stop a leak by taping around the tire and rim? The tires are in fair condition. This might be from 1994 based on the GB patent number?

Gave it a scrub down so it looks better. Didn't help the action any. It's rather stiff and stubborn. Not a trailer you would want to fold up for the closet every day. I expect the primary folding feature was so it would fit in a smaller box for shipping to stores or customers.

There are 2 pins / studs on the underside of the frame. The way they are shaped, it looks like a snap action fitting. I wonder what kind of box/bag(s) was used with this.
