Phuk bolted trailers. 3 of the last 4 broken flats I’ve seen are bolted instead of welded. They crack at a bolt hole. Weld everything you can and bolt the rest.

What exactly broke? Cause i see the axles are still attached and the hitch looks like its still hooked to the truck.
the original semi hitch had 14 1/2 bolts holding it together mine has 20 1/2 bolts grade 8
and my axles setup has 28 1/2 bolts grade 8 as well

It looks really nice and I like the mounts you made for those little lights! A little over kill for that mower though. Haha

1) what are you welding with?
2) Are you a weldor by trade? looks like a welding bed on that dodge.
3) Are those fenders intended to be driven over or removed?

1) mostly with a spool gun( miller 180 with 100 spoolmate) Some tig (miller 180 diversion) depends on thickness
2)I worked in a fab shop in high school,I am currently a Marine engineer Offshore and They just had me go thru a Welding class last year to be a certified welder. Yes the dodge has a welder bed style but its nowhere finished i will be starting on it soon and possibly make it my back up hobby when not offshore
3)Driven over. They are made from 1/2 aluminum plate

well when the mower has a 72" deck it will only fit on my goosneck trailer or my neighbors car hauler and i don't like borrowing stuff.
You know me i love overkill.

So a fellow co-worker showed me a trick of lightly scorched the wood with a propane torch and so i had to try it
I must say the results were outstanding
i then sealed the floor with timber oil to make it hold the texture that it has now

I've never seen those before, but I like them a lot! Are you going to clean up the larger holes right next to them?
