Sorry my friend, I took no pics. It's a Westendorf (Iowa company). I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I got the bottom mounting points fitted and tacked





These are the source of the screen/mesh panels



Takes about 30 seconds to collapse or set up

If it helps, I've done a couple of hay wagon rebuilds with threads and pics on this site. Easy search.

Got some gussets welded in at the lower mounting points. Oversized to allow lights to be mounted to them.



Welding is done, cleaned up and ready for paint tomorrow.

Despite having to go to my father-in-law's today to work up about 200 lbs of hog meat (cut/wrap, he has cooler/meat house), I still got some paint on...

Got it mounted to the tractor today. Seems the lower mounts 'pulled' a little during final welding, took force to get them to line up. But its on there!

Not sure but they look like tote containers for holding plastic tubs of herbicides or liquid things. I've had some totes that look close to one shown. They should be all over the farm country in the Midwest.

No, those totes are IBC totes. I suspect that his are from "gaylord" wire mesh totes.

I think theres a tag on the baskets, I'll look and pass on the info.

They are 32" wide, 24" deep, 16" tall, with feet on the bottom that catch the top edge of one below if stacked. Make great potato bins when lined with news paper.

YES, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!! Knew I had saw something similar, just couldn't remember. I'll go talk to my large farmer friend. Maybe I can score some!!! Thanks for the tip!!!!

Should have read down........ I'll try to locate a chemical tote and we'll compare.

Here is the only info I could find. Google search of 'palletainer junior' brings up several results.
