I just finished my project of building stock panels to go around some deer feeders, made 12 panels and all came out OK, so now I am headed onto my next project. I have just recently adquired a 16 foot covered WW stock/horse trailer. Was setting in a pasture for the at least the last 10 years that I know of. Got the tires aired up (and they held long enough to get to the residence. Floor rotted out, some minor rust problems, basically all metal work in good shape. Blocked trailer up and removed all flooring, wiring shot, so removed that also. Sandblasing trailer now, found some hail damage to top and a couple of large dents in front of trailer. Basically trying to restore back to a good useable horse trailer. Second stock trailer is open style trailer built by a an ol' pipeline welder friend back in the late 50's. One heavy trailer. It is about 20 ft long tongue to tail. 5 ft sides, Lower two feet of sides are of tank steel and upper 3 feet is sucker rods spaced about 6 inches apart. I want to make this my welder trailer. Going to remove all the sucker rod rails and probably the tank steel also to lighten the trailer up. I want to put my SA200 on the trailer but not sure how to mount it on the trailer giving me the most useable space. Want to mount tool box and O/A set up. I do mostly stock fences and pens so I need racks to carry 2 3/8 pipe and other accessories. Will post pic of current trailer but like suggestions on how to mount the welder and accessories. Does the welder need to be placed over the axles? or can it be placed closer to the tongue or rear and still be reliable trailer? It is a dual axle trailer. Have seen many very useable trailers on this site and designs seem to have taken alot of thought in equipment placement rather than just "throwing" something together. Thanks for any replies. jr |
