Snowmobile Trailer

for what it cost and your time I would replace all the wiring, start fresh.

 

Skier76 check with manufacturer about raising tire size. They want those trailers belly heavy

 

I put slightly larger tires on one and the tires would rub the bottom of the deck when hitting a bump while heavily loaded... I had to install urethane bump stops because it would actually make the tires smoke n squeal a little...I'm sure I was overweight though too...hauling 5 yards of mulch (short drive on side roads)

 

Mulch helps with center of gravity..
snowmobile do not

 

Oh I dunno... I had it heaped up pretty high

 

That’s a good point. Ironically, I reached out the manufacturer awhile back. They stated they unfortunately don’t have anything on file for this particular trailer.

Going to a 10” would raise the overall height 1”. I measured and I’ll have enough clearance to the deck; even if the suspension bottoms out.

So “in theory”….this should work just fine. But again…in theory. ; )

 

Found a deal I could not pass on. 3 tires/wheels; two lightly used one brand new: $100 on FB Marketplace. These are the same size that are on the trailer now, so “stock” height as far as I know.

As you can see, the current tires/whee setup could use replacing. I may pick up some new lug nuts as well. Current crusty ones may clash with those newer wheels. ; )



New tires and wheels:

 

Ended up selling the trailer. Aside from one trip around the neighborhood this summer, it hadn’t left the yard in a year. It was a fun project fixing it up. Before selling, I pulled the hubs, wire wheeled, primed, enamel painted them, packed the bearings and installed new dust caps.

I put the trailer on Marketplace over a weekend. Monday morning, I got a message at work from a guy asking about it. Agreed on a price and he picked it up a few days later. He rides some older Ski-Doos with his kids and this is just what needed. Glad it went to a good home!

Currently on the hunt for a decent 5x8 utility trailer.

 

Get a 5x10 instead much betterer

 

I was thinking about that! However, storage space is an issue. Trying to keep it on the smaller size.
