I bought a tandem dump trailer. Steel box was rotten end to end.
So im rebuilding it.
Trailer 450
Double acting scissor lift 400
Steel?? Im thinking 1000 as he hasnt billed me yet.
A few odds and ends for suspension, new bushings and bolts. A couple wheel bearing kits and all new wiring and lights.
Worth every penny.
Those trailers are expensive. No such thing as a reasonably priced good used one.
I have enough scrap steel to haul, should pay for fixing it up.

Yep, I think the allergies are what kicked this off. Pretty sure I have a sinus infection now. It’s been building all week and last night it came on like a freight train. I will call my Doc Monday for antibiotics if it doesn’t settle down by then.

When the older boy was in preschool, one of his classmates came to school and said that he had a "scientist infection"....

If they had a softball field, would you hit baseballs?

good for backing up welds. Also used pieces to turn a vice grip into soft jaws to grab my torsion bars...

Should build myself a torch track.

They had one of those at the truck assembly plant... They had welders and torches mounted on one of those industrial buggies for if the chain that drove the assembly line broke, they could get it welded back up and running ASAP...

Downtime on an assembly line costs big money....

Thought the suspension was done on Cinnamon?
 
Just looked at a few trailers on the local sites. New 8500 and up.
Smaller used one was 4700.
So i will be well under that.
Not counting my time.

Yes that sounds like it's going to be a great trailer! I have a 6x12 single axle with drop ramp, wish it was a dual axle and had a dump. The price difference between what I have and the dump trailer is huge. Often when I go to dump yard waste at the local nursery I'll be pulling out branches one/two at a time and a dump trailer will come in and be gone! That is worth every penny too!
