Well I probably shouldn t have, but I settled on a gooseneck. 99 Moritz, 20+5, dovetail is moveable to make a 25 flat, fold over ramps, new paint and 2" pressure treated deck, 2 new brakes, set of spare bearings, 14 ply tires that are decent tread and no weather cracks, all lights and brakes work, and torsion axles(was a detractor at first, but it sure towed nice at 70 on the interstate). Trailer tows well except it shimmy s from about 30-40 for some reason, maybe tires, who knows. Other than that, my Chevy 6.0 really handled it well empty coming home. I crawled all under it, and the only bad thing, and for some reason was the only rot I could find, was on the main I beams. Owner had told me about it, and he had patched a couple of spots before he painted it. He actually groubd them out and plated it. I looked at it and I think I m going to plate the entire length of the I beam and just be done with it, the top and bottom flange looks decent enough, it s just the webbing. I priced 4 9 3" pieces of 3/16" plate cut to 9 1/4" (that s just about the height of he webbing) tall for about $270. Question is 3/16" big enough? Should I go to 1/4"? Going to try and weld it myself, local shop wanted over a grand to do it. And I paid $3500 for the trailer. If I can fix it and stay under $4k I m happy. For the life of me, I can t figure out why those ibeams rusted.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
