Unpleasant call from neighbor

I had a boss who would change both legs and give the working one to the weld shop who would make a square base of channel, invert the leg and weld it up w/ a set of wheels to sell as supports to place under spotted trailers. Unlike the wimpy ones they sell; that setup would do more than just support the trailer. Using a crank handle we could raise the trailers. Handy way to re-use an old leg.

 

Eek. Can a trailer survive that and still have normal tire wear?

 

Some of the places that I deliver to expect you to drop the trailer and unstrap everything before they'll unload it which is quite retarded when you look at a picture like this.

Might be a good thing to start showing them pics like this.

 

If they were going to have issues, they would have by now I’m sure.

 

Its up, 45 miles to deliver tmrw.
Hrumph
Go ahead and tell me all how i did it wrong now after the fact.

 

It's not crazy if it works

Glad you got it up

 

It worked. Nothing wrong with that.

 

You really should have bought some of the harbor freight jack stands. They're recalled and dirt cheap right now. Other than that congrats.

 

Dolly pads. Use them all the time when loaded, except concrete is always good.
These plastic ones are okay on hard ground, soft ground they’ll just fold up. I use a good set of heavy wood ones about 18”x18”.

 

HAHA, I can't resist cause you asked.

Put the 4x's on the deck under the dolly legs before you drop it.
