Guy approached me and asked if i needed another trailer . I had my sealer trailer on the truck . I said maybe were is it and he said less than a mile up the road . So i went and looked it over and we made a deal . He got the title and we finished the deal .

Needs 4 tires cause there dot# 2007 made and 2 dont hold air . Check the rest over and make sure ready to go .

Its 6lug and the way its built i think 10k but need to verify axle sizes .
She is a 1995 and looks real clean . Used it to move a tractor from job site to site for years as a mason / stone worker / business owner .

Hacked off the 30 year old hitch and chains . Factory cut the ends a hair wide for direct burn in of new mount .

 

[sweetk30]

Cut the tails to match the width of the new end plate and then burned in the new mount and measured my truck to make sure it wont be halfway between holes . Got that on another and had to add a 1" tall ball to fix that .

Also did the weld on chain mounts like the rest have . Love these things !

Nice score. Speaking of modifying, I’m having a hell of a time trying to trade someone my tandem PWC trailer straight across for a single. Wouldn’t have thought it would take this long as they are normally more desirable. Push comes to shove, might just hack 4’ out of the middle . Won’t cost me much but welding wire, blades/discs, and some plates.

Old fenders off . . Good used HD drop leg jack installed . New fenders ready to go on .

 

[sweetk30]

Wait ? What are you doing ? ..... 3ft back from the end 10* pie cut out and drop the tail 6" = ramps to be 4ft long over 8ft long for my use i have planned.

Still has 12" ground clearance at tail and more than the other trailer i pull everyday for work .

Fender mounts burned in . Just need bolts and done. Replaced 1 deck board that was shot .

 

[sweetk30]

Steel cap decking bolted on . Machine layout started to find best placement. Made full rail system and clamped to frame ready to burn in .

That’s some A+ mods there. Nice dude. Making it yours and work best, love the small tweaks

 

[sweetk30]

Rails are burned in . . Front 3 tank layout is done . Just need to cut expanded metal and plop it inside . Then bolt tank clamps in place .

Ramps to make and wire up the new plug and lights .

 

[sweetk30]

Took some time and got the floor burned in for the tanks .

Update for this thread . The trailer has worked great and just needs some fit n finish with paint . 3 of us in a little over 3hrs 1 day this summer did 1mile of crack fill work . Thats a LOT for a small crew and these machines . But its much cheeper than the 30k -60k used BIG UNITS . .

I remember crack filling from my PennDOT days, I can certainly respect a mile in 3 hours with what you have there!
