well i fixed this thing today what i did was load a lighter tractor a ford jubilee to give the trailer some weight, parked it just foward of the bent area, then placed a 12 ton hydraulic jack under the rear corner where the rear crossmember and the side rail meet raised trailer, then heated the area top and bottom untill the bent area became level again, let the load off the jack and held just enough trailer to prevent dropping again, let cool naturally,did the other side, and checked for square, reworked as nessassery, and straightend out the 'fold' with a 4lb sledge in each hand like oversize body hammers, it looks good, and will be ok, to remedy the situation, the bottom crossmembers are angle iron with the edge pointing down, so welding anything to those under the trailer would be pointless, no structural support,since i cant put a frame under the trailer im going to put one in the trailer, i plan to remove the trailer wood decking, and weld channell over the top of the angle on the flats front to back , the channell will actually replace part of the trailer decking, 1 piece each side, and 1 in the middle, then reinstall the decking trimming where i need to to work,also i got me a pair of 5 ton screw type jack stands that will fit under the rear corners when loading and unloading to support the rear of the trailer, this should make a good light duty trailer, the jubilee will be the largest tractor put on it,its 2600 lbs, 3000 with the brush hog, attached, anything else goes on a larger trailer its a shame to buy something then have to tear it apart and fix it before it can be usefull but lesson learned went by to look at the "kubota" that supposedly used this trailer- shoot, a small tractor, not too much larger than a large garden tractor probably weighs around what my ford weighs

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.
