I picked up this cheap equipment trailer to haul my chit boxes around :)
it is 18' long and 83" wide between the fenders, dual brake axles, bulldog coupler, blah blah blah.
It needed a tire, a deck, and wiring because the brakes are the only thing electrical that work. I checked all the hubs with an infrared temp gun after the drive and they all were about 20 deg above ambient so the bearings ought to be OK even though I should repack them soon for peace of mind.
After a couple hours on faceplace marketplace I scored a pair of nice tires for the front axle with a 2019 DOT date to replace the bad one and leave the other take off as a spare.
The wiring was once nicely done but appears to have several mismatched crimped and wire nut splices in place now so I opted to order 30 foot of jacketed 7 wire to redo the entire thing.
