leech~~ Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am looking at buying a nice little ice house but would like to put a drop down frame under it instead of wenching it up and down off my sled trailer. I need some wheel set ideas so if anyone has some pictures or has the link to some old posts I would really appreciate. I told the guy with the house I would call him back tomorrow and let him know if I would take it. So, I only have tonight to get some ideas. I have a buddy who is a certfied welder who can make up the frame for me. Thanks for any ideas on making up a little home made frame.

ski_otter Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 There's a fish house on a sale site by Craig. Found it by searching for fish house. It in white bear lake and that setup may be similar to what you're looking for - when you see the pic it's a white cylinder tank on a trailer that drops.

SwivelDigger Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Leech......can't get pics to work .... If I would've been able to go to the grind gtg you could've seen it in person. If you want to pm me your # or email I could get them to you. If your going to grindstone anytime soon I'm not to far away , we could meet up so you could eyeball it in person. Sorry,wish I could be more help. Page 5 or 6 in ice fishing I might've seen a pic or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 SwivelDigger, Thanks for the effort. I did find some ideas back on the older post pages you suggested. Off to Northen T to look for stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrewJones Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 if the house is small enough i have seen them where people just build the fish house laying down and when they get to the lake the tip it up. the axel never needs to move. The ones i have seen are spear houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
