Small equipment trailer (project)

[Joseph]

I have this old walking beam type equipment trailer I want to get rid of. Before I look for a scrapper or start cutting it up I thought I would post it here. The deck is solid albeit rusty. Needs wheel bearings, tires, fender work, lights & paint. You will need to load it on a bigger trailer or roll back truck as it can not be towed on the road as is.

16.5 feet long from the tongue to the end of the bed. 8’ wide across the fenders.

That thing looks pretty roasted, Joseph. I'd say it's got 'scrap heap' written all over it.

All that trailer needs is a new trailer.

Jack up the license plate and...

Actually, I rebuilt an old trailer in similar condition in '94 and I'm still using it. If the frame and axles are OK, it CAN be done.

I don’t disagree. I will probably be taking the plasma torch to it to make it easier to scrap.

Love the chickenshit patina. I'd hose off the loose crap and add a couple clear coats. I don't see any rust on that bugger.
