I'll tell you exactly what the DOT has to do with transporting anything on a trailer. If you are involved in an accident where there is a personal injury while towing a trailer on a public highway, the personal injury lawyer for your opponent, often known as the plaintiff's attorney, will be so far up your backside on the technicalities of DOT CFRs that you'll be lucky to have coffee money by the time you are done paying your attorney and any possible damages or fines.
Are you familiar with caveat emptor? Why be stupid or careless when you have liability, even if you had no ethical concern for anyone else's well being? I don't see anything in the OP's post that suggested that the seller gauranteed or even stated that the trailer would handle OP's tractor, the seller only stated what he had done with the trailer and as you and I both know, tractors can weigh relatively little, as in a few thousand pounds, or a lot more so a statement that the trailer will support my tractor does not mean that the trailer will support your tractor. It isn't that simple. I'm sorry that OP had this bad experience but a guy has got to cover his own backside.

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.
