I think the frame will be strong enough but the problem will be with those electric brakes as they were for 6 volt systems as the 12 volt batteries were not yet used. and a dovetail would make it so you could not load any bales on it as it would cause them to tip and fall off the back end and I think it should have the Ford size lug spacing that is common to any 5 lug implement wheels. I have a 1951 model 8' wide by 33' long trailer I want to when I get the time make into an implement hauller trailer (implements only - no tractors) it currently has 2 axles with the 6 lug Chevy wheels for 7:00X15" tires, I plan to ad anouther axle in back of the ones that are there for more load capacity. when I get mine done it should measure 35' long bed and 8' wide. I plan to fasten a treated 2x4 on top of the frame rails to fasten treated 2x4 cross members to like my hay wagons then use 5/4 (1") thick treated deck boards lengthwise. The problem I know I will run into is the 6 volt brake magnets along with brake shoes that are probably shot and hope the brake drums are OK. The extra axle will not have brakes. The loads I am planing to haul are antique machinery to shows.
