What kind of welder … What kind of welder did you use on this project? I’m debating on building one of these based on if a 120V MIG can do the trick or if i have to get a more powerful welder.
From Houston it’s … From Houston it’s about 5 hours into Mexico. I only live minutes away so it makes it easier on me. On the channel iron, i just made cut a V groove where i wanted it to bend and then just welded it back together. It holds on strong.
hmm, when i ordered … hmm, when i ordered it I called the company directly and asked them the same thing. I just told them the width of the trailer and they sent me the correct one. I’m pretty sure they add/take inches to compensate for the tires.
Beings that I’m 12 … Beings that I’m 12 hours from Mexico, I don’t have that lower priced steel handy, what were the material cost with increased Mid south prices? Don’t count the axle, and hangers as I have a solid leaf sprung axle I’m going to salvage from a mini van. I have two spring projects, an 6X10 and a 18′ dovetail
I used 60/40 for … I used 60/40 for axle placement. I just measured from front of trailer 6ft back and that was the center where the axle was suppose to go. It runs straight. Measured it a couple of times before welding it.
I used a 6-1/4″ … I used a 6-1/4″ Multipurpose Magnet Holder for holding the material at 45° for easy welding. I used 2.5″ angle iron which I bought in Mexico which is way cheaper.
Thanks!
