Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

This really, REALLY pokes a sore spot. This happened to me, a couple weeks ago, at 4am, to my trailer that had been dependable as a rock, for thirty
years.
Tire, wheel, electric brake, axle stub disappeared along I-15 somewhere, (yes, of course I looked!).
I'm betting the new axle will cost way more than I paid for the trailer......
(And yep, that my 33 on the trailer in my avatar)

If needed I can get you an axle at my cost which is less than 1/2 of retail.
I get to So Cal most every week consulting and I would enjoy see you!
It is a 3500 Lb. non brake axle which is inexpensive.

If you supply me the measurements, I have a lot of take off 3500 axles that
I have switched for 6000 axles for customers. You could have any of those for
free.

I do not think you are one of my enemies from years ago = I Hope.
