Scared me too and its me..

your welcome

the Jack used on this build is a A-frame mount Jack that mounts in the coupler of the trailer.

The reason for the rubber plug on the dust caps is that Dexter/Rockwell Axles now come with Either Posi or EZ lube spindles. Meaning on the end of the spindle is a grease zert allowing you to grease the hubs greasing the inner bearing first. The rubber plug is so you can easily access this grease zert

Didn't know that. That is a good idea. Makes it easy to keep greased.

Glad it was helpful!

We have not had any issues with u-bolts touching frame

Thank you for your questions. to answer your questions: 1. the cost of steel varies depending on location and time you purchase. The trailer Parts kit not including steel (see link below) is $895 includes free shipping to commercial address ( johnsontrailerparts.com/shop/6ft-utility-trailer-parts-kit-3-5k-model-u72-120-35j/ ) 2. It took us about 15 hours start to finish, keep in mind we have built quite a few trailers and have a process down. 3. the plans come free with purchase of trailer parts kit or you can find them here for purchase: johnsontrailerparts.com/shop/6-x-10-utility-trailer-plans-blueprints-3500-lb-capacity/

The cost of Steel will be biggest cost factor as that price fluctuates all the time and varies on location. Steel prices may be vastly different where we are compared to you.

Can you name the price of yours( steel that is)

Yes, the plans for this trailer is engineered for rating of 3,500lbs, it uses lighter gauge steel, We do offer plans for 5,200lb trailer as well

Trust me that little single 3.5k with pr4 springs can hold some weight I’ve seen landscapers, construction, and utility companies over load them and beat them when they bring em to my job to service them

This Trailer has a KTI 3qt Double acting pump. johnsontrailerparts.com/shop/3-quart-12v-kti-double-acting-hydraulic-pump-dc-4442/

thx 4 the information

This is something we will do a video on in future. Here is a link to diagram for tandem axle spacing: eide7eqjasg.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Single-Tandem-Axle-Hanger-Kit-Spacing-Diagram-For-Double-Eye-Springs.jpg?lossy=1&w=2560&ssl=1

We typically use rustoleum paint and spray ourselves

honestly it is hard to ballpark and steel prices vary across the country. At this time we built this we spent around I believe $3,000 in steel. Prices for steel are constantly changing going up and down.

Thanks, would be cool to see your build. We are looking at adding more dump trailer plans in the future and are looking at the gooseneck plans.

Yes, you can build as many trailers as you want. You just can not sell the plans as the plans are copyrighted.

Sounds good

Yes, it works just fine outside as long as there is no wind. If windy then you loose your gas.

using gas and no wind

Or you can switch polarity and use gasless Fluxcore wire

you can pick up angle iron from most steel suppliers. They usually stock it

Thanks

Yes, if your asking about to bolt that holds spring pack together. Just make sure to use proper bolt length for your spring pack. Typically if that bolt is rusted off. I would recommend replacing the springs.

Glad it was helpful!

They are a teflon bushing

Yes, I would recommend using shackles as it is part of the Suspension

What brand hubs do you have and what size cap are you using. It is best to use a rubber mallet or block of wood so pressure is applied evenly when installing. It is similar to installing wheel seals. They must go in evenly.

Good Morning, We actually do not build in quantity. When we come out with new blueprints we do a test build to make sure the plans are good to go before we offer them for sale. Yes, if we were to build in quantity we would build jigs to speed up the process, but as of now we only build one trailer per blueprint we offer.

Are you asking about the axles?

Glad it was helpful!

It all depends on what your looking for. The plans for these trailers get you a well built sturdy trailer that will last. Cheaper trailers (like those sold at most hardware type stores) you can buy usually will have lighter steel and tend to not last. If looking for a trailer for light use then a cheaper prebuilt might be a good option. If your looking to have a trailer for heavier use and that will last, you usually are better building one as you can build them cheaper than most comparable trailers to this that you can buy plus you can build it out to your specification. Even with Steel prices today, for the cost of most of the cheaper trailers you can buy, you can build a trailer like this for usually same cost or cheaper and end up with a much better trailer. It really depends on steel price in your area. When looking at trailers you typically find the cheaper ones have less crossmembers and use lighter gauge steel. As price for same size trailer goes up you will find they use thicker gauge steel and more crossmembers.

@@johnsontrailerparts ya the price is off up there

At this time we do not have the plans for this listed for sale but are working to add them. Here is Link for plans we currently offer. johnsontrailerparts.com/product-category/trailer-plans-blueprints/
