Hello Starting to go thru this mini trailer and found the bearings a little tight. See video and what would you recommend?
Pull the cotter pin , remove nut Pull the hub Check bearings, if dry /rusty Replace them (take to auto parts store to get right size, few buck each) If Tight & dirty grease May just soak overnight in gas Clean /repack with grease & put back together
Hello Looks like after the cap fell off a lot of dirt got inside but it was never really used since the owner never registered it. So we will clean the bearings with gas and grease them back up. I have the red high temp grease. Also gave it a primer coat using Very High Temp flat black header paint and a finish coat of high temp satin black stove bright!
Does the hub have a grease zerk? If yes, pump some in after it’s back together Try to get some grease smushed into the rollers of the bearing, not just on the outside for durability Looks like you scored a nice trailer that just need some TLC
Yes, i'd put some "bearing buddy's" instead of regular caps. That way you can pump grease into them and they constantly get grease through the bearings.
Thanks just got the PT 2x4 and 2x6 in to hold the PT 1/2” subfloor in. Now we are notching the PT 3/4” floor for the side rails. We used 3/8” lag bolts 1/1-2” long with washers and lock washers to bolt the 2 bys to the frame and 2-1/4 inch galvanized deck screws to screw the floor thru thesub floor into the 2 bys How is it looking now?
I took it on the highway way at 70 MPH with the tight bearing! Now that is fixed it should fly!! LoL It will be my Stove Hauler!
You haul your stove around with you? So it doesn't get lonely? Oh. FYI. Those trailer tires are speed rated.
Good Idea! After the sides are in, I can put cement board on the floor and make a tiled hearth! Install a deep cycle marine battery and a Surefire inverter, Great for county fairs so I can show what I sell and also good for camping! No need for firewood, just press the on/off button! Floor is notched and screwed down, and the 1x4 verticals are bolted in. The bolts are held with nylon Metal nuts washers and lock washers so they will never loosen. Next is the 1x4s for the side rails.
