Had all the parts and crudely welded my RTV wood trailer together. Yeah need new tires but she rolls. All old parts including an early Model T axle. I'm as far from a certified welder/artist like peanut but nothings broke so far.
Hey Peanut Check out my crummy welding

hey that looks great. i like the tilting bed too.them little short trailers are great for going through the woods.i made one a few years ago to pull behind my rhino and gator it was nice to pull through the woods because of it being so short i could turn reall sharp and get in between the trees on the trail..i didn't have sides on mine it was just a flatbed. but yours looks really good and yea it looks like you.ll be having that thing around for years to come. don't worry about bot being certified in welding that really don't matter as long as what you put down holds together and that little trailer looks like it could take a good beating and then some .
There are so many things wrong that I don't even know where to start.
You bent your tongue jack. Guess that one won't be getting installed.
Your left side bed light is pointing to the sky. Signaling ET?
No lid on the coffee cup. It's filled with who-knows-what now since it's so close to the work area.
Your right-side bed rail is smashed on the rear side. You should fix that (or at least stop smashing that corner).
Please tell me you didn't use your chainsaw in the house to remove that chunk of flooring that's in the RTV bed.
You have a &&&&&&&&&&&& bumper sticker on your tailgate?
(EDIT TO ADD: We don't even allow that other sites name to be mentioned here. The &&&&&&&&& was generated by the forum software, replacing the name).
OK, kidding aside. Looks like a job "well done"!
Please explain your safety chains. It looks like they're hanging/looped on the RTV side. If so, cool. If you're going to use a grab hook, you should cross them and/or make sure they're long enough to cover the sharpest turn.

Nice job. I could sure use a trailer like that. 
As for the censoring of the TBN name, I had forgotten about that.
That was long ago and I choose to move past all that. I have just modified the censorship settings on here so if you feel the need you can type tractorbynet any time you want and your text will not be censored. I hate censoring and see no reason to carry that practice on here.

That is a great trailer for the RTV. Good job! bordercollie

Thank you, Doc. I've never felt like it was necessary either, and it has prevented a transfer of good information many times, especially on TBN.
Thanks again.

I was eyeing da Cheby too. Looks good from what we can see. I'll guess it's a project truck in progress. What engine you got in that baby?
Thanks All. I leave my cup to collect the little stubs of electrodes. They add so much to taste. All parts previously smashed trashed or rusted to reduce break in period. Bent trailer jack from dum-dum here forgetting to store it properly before moving another trailer. Was thinking about adding to this one but smashed to s--t.
Now the Cheby is a 5 window US AIR FORCE issue line truck Ive had for near 50 years. Found shipping stuff in it that its been to japan, korea, then sold at edwards AFB in 1965. Will be my last project. Currenty 4x4 350 offenhauser, 4 barrel, 400 at, MT headers you name it. It is haunted by my beloved UNCLE Chuck who watches over me. Want to get late model cummins turbo frame to put it on.

Chains are remnant of its use as a trash basket used for recovering trash on hill sides, I shorten them for use when trailering. Was originally designed as a drag/skid but failed miserably and tossed out. Has forklift holes still visable.
Chains/ring is Still handy for towing out of ruff spots wth RTV or tractor. Not one of you remarked on my Pre 20's Model a axle. a gift from a friend who said he played on it when a child. He's nearing 70 now. FWIW can only weld with left hand and a ton of clamps.
The loose angle is now installed to brace fenders/steps if you were wondering.

It runs but poorly. It will live again hopefully as a diesel and plan to dump some serious $$ in it. Speaking of diesel, we managed to find (and buy) a new VW passat diesel. Very rare aand hard to get right now here in PRK. Supposed to get over 47mpG. Getting 39 around town right now so we'll see. Poor mans luxury car and NOT a hybrid.
man get your hands on an old 12 valve cummins 5.9 and drop that in there .that thing would be a beast.there is a 24 valve cummins 4x4 on youtube that is running 9's at the track. that thing flys you would be amazed at how much a deisel will get up and go alot of people think that them big siesel truck are slow and smoky but little do they know just how much power and how fast them thing are.
Like to get two and put one in the RTV for drag racing!!... No more gasolene engines for me. Besides any nice car nowadays uses premium which costs about the same as diesel in these parts. Tried the cart out. Tows well with the RTV and automatically dumps when hitch is released. Gotta watch out for that tongue! Where have i heard that before RAFLMAO!!!
MY old 83 datsun maxima diesel makes as much smoke but isn't that fast. Miss that old car (son has it) it was great for tailgaters!!!
