Rebuilding a Dual Axle Trailer トレーラーのリビルド

in #diy6 years ago

I bought an old trailer a few weeks ago and I have been fixing it up since then. There are few more things that need to be done like rebuilding or replacing the brakes and replacing the leaf springs but I used it to pick up a new front door for my house last weekend.
数週間前、ボロボロのトレーラーを購入しました。それ以来毎週ちょっとずつ直しています。まだブレーキを直したり、リーフスプリングを交換したりなどしないといけませんが、先週末、新しい家の玄関ドアを受け取りに行くのに使いました。

Here are some progress pics to show what went into this rebuild so far...
下記が今まで直してきた部分の写真となります。

First thing that I replaced was the trailer coupler. I did not trust the old rusty bent one that was on there originally. To find the replacement parts, I used the patent number that was engraved in the part. The patent was from 1960s and the company that made this originally does not exist anymore but I was able to find a supplier that still made the part thanks to the internet.
最初に直したのは、トレーラーのカプラーです。購入時に付いていたカプラーはサビついて、鉄の部品が変形していて、運転している途中に外れるのが心配なので交換しました。新しい部品はパテント番号を使って探しました。

Welding a wheel well for the right side. I used some sheet metal from an old stove for this.

Great work @chronogn, it's awesome to bring something back to life like you did here. Love that you used the sheet metal from the old stove for the wheel fender! What car are you hauling the trailer with?

Sorry for the late reply but thanks! Gotta make use of what i have. :)
I will be hauling it with a 2001 BMW 525it.

Those are the staggered piston inline engine right?

It's an M52 straight 6 engine. It's not staggered.

nice! Had any major problems with it? I've had experience with the inline 6cylinder engine on the 1999 jeep grand Cherokee and they are almost bulletproof.

It's been pretty good so far! The only issue I've had is the oil leak from the oil filter housing. It is a common problem where the gasket hardens to a rock. I've always heard good things about the straight 6 in the Jeep GC. It's a shame that alot of them got crushed in cash for clunkers. :(

That's not too bad, sounds like a pretty reliable vehicle. I know that's a freakin shame, that program was a pretty crappy scheme.
