Small trailer redo
Permalink Closed


i scored this 4x6 trailer from a friend for $50.00. he had just painted it and bought a 3/4" sheet of plywood for it. so i bought it a fixed it up a bit.

first me and my buddy made 2' high stake sides for it. then i redid all the wiring and added new lights the i added 2 layers of 3/4" plywood on the floor for support. then i took it for a roadtest to make sure all was good. it's a tilt bed trailer but the tilt latch and striker plate were beat up. so i cut the  welds for thelatch and head the neighbor make up a piece to raise it and also add more to the striker plate.

next will be to find new tires for it and go over the wheel bearings. and add some more tie downs.

this is when i brought it home

and starting to work on it

bought this Simplicity tractor for $150.00 need to fix it. if it can't be fixed then i use the bigger deck on my mower. and scrasp the rest.
