    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.

    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...

    If you perceive any faults in the initial inspection, or have any questions, just ask, no doubt you'll get plenty of answers ; )
