Re: Trailer Mods
My last trailer had thin rollers like that. What I did is removed all, got new washers and hog rings, (yes you have them on the back of the roller) Place the roller on the arm and see were it need to ride. Drill new hole and add hog ring or big cotter pin, add roller, another roller and pin you are set to go!!
You have to think out of the box!! |
Re: Trailer Mods
MJ about how much life should I be able to get out of them. This trailer came with the boat so I dont know how old they are.

Re: Trailer Mods
When I did mine I use all SS cotter pins and they never rusted again!
As for the washers you will have to go Galv. I got rid of my traier 4 years after fixing it and they were all still moving! That said I use the next size roller, so if you have 3/4 holes go to 1" roller, this allows room for the rust to roll out of the center. which is the main cause of frozen rollers! There is no room for the rust on the shaft to get out, so it just swells and then seizes the roller in place. You will notice all or most new trailers have a square shaft. Two sides are rounded for the roller to turn right. the flat sides allow the crap to fall off the center. |
Re: Trailer Mods
AIR: you got my cell number for directions?
MJ I like the idea of stainless cotter pins. |
Re: Trailer Mods
