Might be able to find the axle rating by the bearing/spindle sizes?
6 lug.How many lug nuts per wheel?
5= 3500
6= 5200
8= 7000(ish)
Above numbers are a general rule and will be corrected by the numbers folks here soon![]()
Is there a place I should look? Brakes were toast so I measured and order entire loaded backing plates and drums. Website only offered one size so hoping it’s right.Might be able to find the axle rating by the bearing/spindle sizes?
Call it 5200 for gits and shiggles.6 lug.
Dude and I use to wheel together yrs ago and after he left the service he went on the road driving high rail (car haulers). He left the trailer at my place to use and then he’d grab it if he ever needed it for XYX. Called him the other night asking about the trailer letting him know I’d be using it to make trips to KY for my upcoming move but when I was done where should I plan to leave it here in NC so he’d know it was safe but have access when needed. He said don’t worry about it and it’s mine to just take it with me and we will sort out a BOS later. Kinda blew my mind but I’m gonna float him some dollhairs regardless cause I know trailers are solid gold right now and he didn’t have to just come off it. Also, he is a true bro who dropped a lot in the past to help me out so….Call it 5200 for gits and shiggles.
Nice score dude!
If you need any PT boards for the floor, holler. You can swing by my Raleigh yard and grab some.Dude and I use to wheel together yrs ago and after he left the service he went on the road driving high rail (car haulers).

I’ll see if I can make anything out. They are pretty well sun bleached as heck!!It looks like you have a weight sticker on the trailer, Look at it, Divide it by two, That's the rating of the axles...
If it says 9999lb, they're 5200lb axles, and the trailer is de-rated to keep it from crossing the magic 10,000lb DOT Line.

Current decking is 2x10x16 with a smaller “filler” in the center but I would be down for just about whatever would make it right if it mathed correctly. I know the wider PT has a tendency to warp if it’s not good quality KDAT. Anything around here is solid slowes “quality” so…. Yeah….If you need any PT boards for the floor, holler.

Holla at cha boy
Axle tubes are 3”. Inner bearing on the spindle are in the ball park of 1.4” (digi caliper is having some battery issues and was being a bit of a potato so I’ll grab a new one tomorrow)![]()

I’d love to find a mill and buy oak but here in the Sandhills that’s just about unobtanium in 16’ lengths.
Pretty cool area. We went there a couple years ago when visiting the wife’s brother out in Portland. Head on south to Manzanita for a nice beach that’s less busy.Saw the Goonies house and rock today.

Californians making an offer for their new house??Putting the kids to bed, and little one was upset because big brother had his Lego ice cream truck and wouldn’t give it back. Big brother says he can’t give it back yet because there’s still too many people in line. I look over and see this…

Well, big brother ain’t wrong. Motorcycle guy next to last is already ranting and waving his arms over the wait time.Putting the kids to bed, and little one was upset because big brother had his Lego ice cream truck and wouldn’t give it back.
