For the past few months I've been using it for hauling mulch, furniture and the like. It's been a while since I have thought about upgrades on the trailer but this past weekend I had some time. I decided for the way I have and most likely will likely continue to use the trailer it wouldn't do...

Thanks, I'm ordering some supplies this week and hope to be able to tear into the build next week. In the meantime I had some cardboard, pvc and a tarp to play with. I want to be able to switch between bikes/gear and landscape/chores easily. I'm not sure which direction I'm going with on...

Hello all, I figured that I have sat on the sidelines for long enough. After doing a lot of reading on various sites, but mostly here, I decided to jump in and purchased what I think was a nice example of an M416 trailer. The pictures below are from the Craigslist seller and how I bought it...

I have a front casting with a 2" ball receiver welded on it that I would be interested in swapping. If your interested send a PM, I am in Houston. Here are the best pictures I have at the moment.

Yea, my googling found that but my wallet didn't agree. I haven't put a lot of work into my trailer yet and using the "don't know where to start" excuse. I think I'm gonna go with something like johnspark in the Georgia build thread out just call with it as is.

What are you doing at the receiver? I am trying to figure out how to replace mine at the moment. I currently have a 2" ball connection and I am think of going back to stock (lunette) or fabricating something to accept a 2" tube.

...I guess my lurking has come to an end. I would be interested in a steel fabricated replacement of the frame lunette casting able to accept a 2" square tube. This would allow an adjustable tongue, interchangeable hitches and most importantly let me learn welding on a less critical component.
