Default Found me a trailer

New to me 1997 Load Rite, $450 with title.

The bad..
Needs 1 leaf spring replaced (before I can use it).
May need 2 rims before too much longer, hard to tell how bad the rust is.
Will need some various brackets replaced at some point.
Fenders have a few cracks.

The good...
3 new hubs (1 not installed)
2 new rims
4 good tires
Axles look a little rusty but solid.
Newer jack & winch
Aluminum I-beam frame

Reh76, looks like you got yourself a winner. Good looking unit. About the only thing I could recommend is that you get a trailer jack with wheel(s) on it. (Makes maneuvering a lot easier, especially when doing a hook-up). Best of luck to you with it.

Agri Supply is the best place around for trailer parts

I've heard that from a few people. I'll have to check it out, closest store to me is about 1hr 45mins away in Lumberton, but I'll be going right by there in a couple of weeks.

They do have a web site, not the best but it works. You can get an idea of prices there.

Nice trailer can't beat the weight of a aluminum trailer.
