Lowboy Rebuild
Been busy the last couple of weeks after i picked up a lowboy from Trucker N. Trailer came fully ready to pull but as usual i had some changes in mind. Im happy with where its at right now and im about 50% done with all the changes i have in mind for it. so heres what i have so far.
Heres the trailer the day i got it, tri axle with lift axle and lights, manual neck in red.
next to the flatbed
detachable neck
looking down the trailer from the rear
the tear down
Resanded the decking, little stain, and some sanding and painting of the frame
Started the lights redoing them for 9v, with LED's the batch i got were all miscolored and brightnesses so i have more on order from a different place.
Stole the suspension from the flat bed and came up with this
with the lift axle (which has been removed.. going with a straight tri axle)
Here is how she's looking in the sun
with the current set up all wheels stay on the ground
And for Fathers day the wife bought be a new Case International tractor for it
Still left to do is power up the neck put the lights in when the arrive.. fab up a new rear light bar, add the decking plate, ramps for the front.some reflective stripes, and a few other little details.. But im pretty happy with where it sits now.. Now i just need to get a suspension set for the flatbed
which by the way isnt staying that way either. i decided to shorten it to 33" and make it a dump trailer
figured it was the perfect time to do it while i have parts of it stolen. haha
Thanks for looking!
