Yea ,im going to pick it up today and start cutting on it ,I think i will leave it five foot wide and make it ten foot long .I will have to make sure that the axle and the springs are heavy enough for the weight,But its a start.I may take it to my work i have a plasma cutter there and a wire welder.All i have here is a stick welder.

Good GRIEF! For a trailer that long the axle is mounted WAAAAY back! Of course, for a penny, you really can't go wrong. Even if you completely cut it apart and just use it for the raw material, you still got a good deal.

Yea i said the same thing i dont know why they would have the axle that far back.Imagine the tongue weight..LOL

Put that plasma cutter to good use. Where are you going to put the axle on your 10' trailer? About 40 1/2" from the back of the trailer???

Well i picked the trailer up today and the only thing i see i can use off of it is the axle and the trailer is four foot wide instead of five ,Oh well no loss.I have an axle now anyway..
