I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

What ever happened to the trailer you got before?
Nice score there
|
Nice trailer and it came with a spare. I see so many trailers left on the side of the road because someone didn't have a spare.

|
I still have that one. My brother cut it to lengthen it for me and never put it back together yet. Somehow, I just don't think its going to get done.
And this one is 5 ft wide, dad can use it to move his tractors too. The other is only 4 ft wide.

Looks great! just remember leave extra stopping distance. There is a "get to know ya" period in your trailer & truck relationship.
|
Nice trailer and a very nice score.
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
looks like a nice trailer for the money!

be sure to check your bearings New, simply raise the axle, spin the wheel, look for wobble or rough spot. Grab the tire front and rear and pull/push, and top/bottom, pull/push, check for looseness. any questions just ask : )

I'm guessing you'll want some sides, I'd suggest 4ft on that, help cover the rear "wind-anchor" ( a very old term I just made up ; )

Or if you want to/know how go into it deeper, take em apart, clean/inspect for brown or "rusty" colored grease (means water is getting in and needs the seal replaced) scoring, discoloration of the rollers and or flat spots, re pack with new grease and away you go Worry free for many miles! Once someone shows you how its super easy to remember. Comes in real handy knowing how, cause we charge an hours labor at our shop to clean, inspect and re pack.
That trailer is a beaut. Looks like its in pretty good shape too.
If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

One mistake people make is over tightening bearings. They should be LIGHTLY SNUGGED, I slowly spin the hub when doing this, then with the hub still, back off the castle nut to the first space that the split pin fits. You do not want pressure squishing the bearing together. I once bought a boat on a trailer and the PO said "I just replaced the bearings". I checked them when I got home and the nut must have been tightened to 40 foot pounds. Luckily it was only 5 miles away!
