Beautiful rebuild!

I have a 4' X 8' Haulin brand utility trailer that I had bought many years ago to haul my Gheenoe. It's in need of a rebuild now too. I had purchased some of the parts I needed, like the new pins for the springs, but just have not had much time to get started on it. One of several items on my to do list!

Awesome job

That turned out very good!

Thanks. Hit a road block though. Need new bearings hubs and tires before it can hit the pavement and the ole lady out of work I've already stretched my funds. So it's on hold for a while. Guess it's a few more weeks of loading it on top of the suburban

Great job redoing the trailer. Not sure where you live but i get great deals on mounted tires and other trailer parts at Eastern Marine in Newark, DE.

Nice looking job! What's wrong with the hubs?

One has all 4 studs replaced with nuts and bolts so the wheel doesn't stay centered. The other has 2 replaced. I can get bearing kits for 25 or a full hub with bearings for 40.
