The catalogue is mint. What a great find. The trailer must be an earlier version. I've got a tipper body on its own, and a trailer chassis is on it's way, along with a tractor. My tipper body has a broken hinge, which I'm going to try to fix. The version I have is Whitlock K11, and it has a rod in the plastic sleeve to hold the tipper up, instead of the curved arm in the socket. The chassis is different with a plastic towing eye - same as the one on the K4 Fruehauf hopper train.
Update. I've realised now that your green hub trailer is a 1-75 version. The one I have is a King size - and is why there is a different mechanism for holding the tipper body up. Mine is all together again now and hitched to it's correct Fordson Major tractor - repro parts, and a pop rivet nail for a hinge pin. Your trailer goes with a #50 John Deere Lanz tractor.
Keep up the videos. They are interesting and informative to us collectors out there.
That trailer is a nice find. Now you need the red wheeled version! Thanks for showing.
Yeah that's going to take awhile to find! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video.

Nice catalog. Great pictures.
I would subscribe if you stopped saying "oohmm" in every sentence
