Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.

    Nice! I have no welder…(not sure how responsible it would be to use one extensively on my driveway in suburbia though either)

    So a tap and screws holds this all together

      I think i’d spotweld the screw heads to make sure they won’t shake loose. I usually weld outdoors. (Very seldom in the garage.) This because of the fumes and also fire safety.

        I generally add a bit of blue lactate to help that. At this stage though I haven’t done much to secure anything

          blue lactate

          Have not thought of that. I wonder if that’s strong enough with the heavy shaking of the trailer? …curious now about that … let us know…
