Zero Knievel Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Okay, I bought this trailer several years ago. It looked A LOT WORSE than this. I disassembled it, had it sandblasted, primed and painted. Made a new deck for it out of 2x4s and bolts. Put on a new wiring harness and trailer light kit (4-wire). It's done nothing but sit out in the weather. A few years back, I pulled off the deck and stored it in the basement to protect it from further deterioration. I believe it's 5' x 8' with a tilting bed, but you may still need ramps if you're going to load on multiple items since it won't tilt with weight on the front (obviously). Make what you think is a fair offer and it's yours. You have to come and pick it up (24270). It likely needs new tires before seeing serious use since these are the ones it came with. Last I checked, the wheel bearings were in good shape. Even if you put $$$ into fixing/cleaning it up, you're getting something more solid than you're going to find at TSC, Harbor Freight or Northern Tool Co. Paint faded by the weather. Mostly dirt, but a few spots of rust are starting to reappear from sitting in the sun and rain. Yes...and moss is starting to grow on it. The deck is under all of that. I'll reinstall it before you pick it up. Basic 2x4s and hardware you can get at any hardware store. You can measure the placement of the crossmembers beneath to make a new one (if you wish) that fits the trailer perfectly. I used four bolts (one in each corner) to secure it down to the trailer. It sits flush in the channels when it's installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It was once the fastest color, now it has faded into a receptacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoWhee Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 MMM pink, if it was only a little bigger (the story of my life). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well, it's a good trailer...solid...just needs some cleaning and new tires. I'm pretty much ready to give it away rather than let it keep rotting in the yard unused. If I had a regular need for it, I'd keep it.

JoWhee Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 If it's free and still available mid summer I'll buy you a steak dinner for it. Too much shit going on now for me to come down any earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganDonor Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Or I could take it, and use to get to the rally point with your trailer, Jo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoWhee Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'm looking to go cheap for the short term, somehow my trailer budget ended up being granit counters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
