The trailer looks AWESOME Jesse! Great work! Isn't it nice to have something turn out so well after you put all that sweat equity into it? I enjoy that! Now you can put that bad boy to work for years to come!
You need 1inch drive sockets and associated tools for commercials in my opinion sticking a bead or arc weld on your stuck bearing races will help like using the hot spanner 👍🏻🇬🇧
You like buying stuff on the cheap thinking it’ll work , don’t you ? That’s why I think you are ready for an expensive entry level opportunity in the Magic Bean market . . . Lovin your channel
I have 2 questions - Are the boards in the middle of the trailer somehow protected from moisture and woodworms? And Second: - are you planning to install an electric winch on the trailer?
@@KennysTreeRemoval Like in very similar, because his videos seem like they have been inspired by Andrew Camaratas videos... Nothing against him though
@Rob G not true. It done for the convenience of maintenence. When they get low on oil all you have to do is add oil. But when you have a oil seal go out you have to replace the brake shoes too because they get saturated with oil. With grease you have to tear everything apart to repack the bearings every so often for maintenence which is a pain. I have several semi trailers that I run. The ones that are constantly on the road I use oil because it's easier and on the one's that sit 6 month out of the year I use grease because trailers that sit have more tendencies to have leaking seals. Out of curiosity I checked bearing temperatures while loaded and after running around 100 miles on a hot day and the oil bearings were all around 140 degrees which isn't bad but the grease bearings were only 90 to 95 degrees. It's heat that kills oil and bearings. The only problem with grease is you need to keep a better eye on it because unlike oil you can't just check the level.

Those damn carpenters trying to be mechanics using a claw hammer to get races off. 😂 Love it 👍🏻. Great job Jesse, thanks for another cool video. You and Andrew make it happen. PS You might have seen my family in the past maybe, I’m originally from Hudson, family bizz Alvarez Modulars. Take care
I always weld expanded metal on my ramps to aid in traction when loading, metal trailer and tracks its always butt clincher on my track loader the first couple times coming up the ramps and over the pivot point lol. Nice job
I rebuilt a Multi-Quip Concrete mixer a few years ago and had to replace the main bearing for the barrel; I could not figure out how to get the bearing race out; found a YT video on doing the weld a bead technique that you're talking about; just about fell out after it cooled; couldn't believe how easy it was.
@@ebutuoyebutouy I used this technique for both inner and outer; neither would budge using heat and beat. The weld bead (and in fact I think I only did 4 shorter beads equally distributed around the race) "shrunk" the race when the bead cooled so it came out easy. These races were pretty large; the mixer had been run by the previous owner after the bearing had failed for quite a while; it was really screwed up in there.
@@ront8261 Ok. Confusion. There is an inner and an outer bearing. Each bearing has an inner race, and an outer race. Yup, good way to remove the outer race from the hub is to weld, both for inner and outer bearing. Yipee

Jesse love the videos. Bur would highly recommend putting a wood deck back on. When loading steel track machinery on it in the winter or when wet will be bad. Never want to load on to a steel deck. Bad bad idea.
For all you young guys out there who think they can lift the world and tote it around I thought the same. Now at 62 my back isn't worth a damn. Can't pick up much more that a matchbook. Use your head and not your back. Glad to see the you had help when you replaced the hubs. I painted a 18 foot trailer with a roller and brushes once. Won't do that again. Good job and good looking trailer. Should give you years of service.
That came out sweet ! Yeah steel on steel is super slippery be careful always be level or it will be off on its side trust me ! You can weld an angle iron on each side of the wood then it can't slide off left the right.. be a bumper rail
I am definitely going to weld on a piece of angle iron in the middle, I just didnt have the steel to do it at the moment. It was another trip to albany steel to get it, but I am about to build a grizzley screener so I will get the steel when I get the steel for that. good call
@@jmuller86 make a detailed video of the grizzly screener project lots of people look at those videos. Many of them on you tube. suggestion first do a video on what you plan on building before you build it, people watching can make suggestions on what your plans are, many of the suggestions might be benifical to your project. those that built them have ideas of how they would do things differently on a second build.
@@jmuller86 sometimes it's better to consult an engineer during a build like this . you can only have so much reinforcing here and there . you want to transport heavy equipment . the last thing you want , is for your trailer to BE that heavy equipment you're transporting . great job J . and thanks for furionese for the pizza , lol . some vloggers should have a pizza warning........." WARNING , ONE HOUR VIDEO OF BUILDING STUFF....PIZZA IS ADVISED "
I'm just 24 minutes in this Video and i can already tell this trailer is going to be just like new.. You do good work and no shortcuts...Do it right or don't do it at all best way to tackle a project Wtg Bud Keep em comin Jesse...thumbs Up----------> Okay back to finish watching this Vid...
Bud wheels smh. You forget what they were like once center pilot wheels made the scene. Or the old split rim Dayton wheels before tubeless tires came along. Looks like you found yourself a good trailer for the kinds of work you into. Great 👍 Content best of luck 🤞
I agree with the all wood deck, especially since you have the wood and the ability to cut it. Hemlock should last a long time. Have you seen the rails that Dirt Perfect has to put in stake pockets on the center of his trailer to stop tracks from sliding sideways?
Great job. The fact that you cut your own lumber is one of the coolest parts to me but i do love the diamond plate as well. Could add texture to the paint for anti slippage.
Yes another video. Great video. I personally think a timber deck is safer for friction coefficient, especially with track vehicles such as excavators and heavy plant. It will aid the load stability and reduce lateral slip causing an unstable load
I like the idea of the plates Dirt Perfect has between the tracks on his lowboy. They are going to stop any sideways sliding when it gets slippy. You can see them in the background @5.27 in this video ruclips.net/video/uxQ7u3n2174/видео.html I have seen Chris Guin (Letsdig18) have big problems loading their dozer in the wet because the trailer was parked on a camber, and Jeff Anderson (JPayDirt) has also had some sketchy moments - and he is moving some big equipment!
I haul heavy equipment for a living my lowboy has a hydraulically driven steel dove tail with cleats and a wood deck both get dang slippery and dangerous in the rain, mud, snow and ice. However I feel that the track machines do end up digging into to the wood a bit better for traction but the boards end up getting chewed up fast needing replacement. be careful and go slow is by best advice except if you're sliding coming down on the ramp I've found its best to "gun it" before the machine slides sideways. Also i have better luck getting those mini excavators on with the arm headed to the front of the trailer and the push blade towards the rear. Happy to answer any questions or share my experience to help out and to find what works best for you. Thanks for the video trailer turned out real nice looking .
Really can’t understand why the algorithm is keeping you down but I’m glad I found this channel last year. Appreciate and relate to your sense of not cutting corners on your residential builds. I’m a contractor and follow that same rule every day. I haven’t had a single complaint about a thing I saw on the addition build. You guys are all right. Great work, great problem solving. ✌️
Yea my loader started slipping at the pivot point once, i throttled it wide open and luckily got it twisted enough that it went off backwards off the side. Sit the bucket down on the deck and backed it on off in the ditch, laid boards down before and after the pivot until we bought a wood deck about like this one.
Great video ,Jessie. Given the prior rust damage have you considered drilling drainage holes in the U cross members at the bottom of the trailer to let water drain? Awesome amount of hard work and knowledge went into this rebuild which otherwise would just be scrap iron ! 👍👍👍🤩🏆
Now- it needs a bolted down utility box or tote, to hold chains & anchoring devices- bungee, rags, couple cheap tarps, rope, maybe a triangle set. An AGM battery for a winch? Walmart has really decent hinge-lidded ABS totes. I'd like to see a "revisit" video of this now, after 2 years of use, anyway, please consider the utility box?
Since you have all four brake wires coming to that box, I think it would be a good idea to install a fuse on each line. Measure the current to the solenoids and select a fuse a bit higher than that. If one of them ever shorts to ground in the future that heavy gauge wire will ensure that it receives all the current the controller can deliver, disabling the rest of the brakes.
for about 20 bucks or so at harbor freight you could get a pray gun and buy your paint by quart or gallon and save a heck of a lot of money and time. old timer
Nice friggin work..... I was going to say, its like a 20 k trailer... for 4 k, thats a nice trailer for what you need... BTW, always use a breaker bar for tough nuts, lol... not a ratchet. Now you have to put new guts in the ratchet... another project...
It looked like he broke the breaker bar first, and had to use the ratchet after that. Lol. I have the same Chinese 3/4" drive set. I broke the ratchet for my set, too; did it at work, so my union told the company they had to replace it, and they gave me a nice 3/4" drive Proto. That ratchet cost more than twice what the socket set did. 😂 The rest of the set has lasted okay, though, for the odd occasion when I needed bigger sockets. I mostly work on normal cars and trucks, not heavy stuff. 🤷
If you strap down the bulldozer like that in Australia you be fined heavily that track could break where you fastened it down anyway And hope the dozer doesn’t move on you all the best hope it doesn’t break On your Cliff from Australia
Great video. By the way, I use white or yellow paint as much as possible underneath chassis, so that dark cracks, rust or defects show up clearly if they occur. It makes it brighter for underside work anyway. Another tip is to work on light coloured concrete etc whenever possible, to reflect up daylight.
Jessie, I can see your workmanship and name on everything you craft. I am the same way. HD used to stand for something, but nowadays it's just a marketing ploy. "HD" "Ultra" "Max" "HQ" are just total lies. This new generation of throw away doesn't know what real durability means, or entails. Everything is produced with cheap materials, cheap, unskilled Slave labor, and then marked up for even more profit. This trailer is a prime example- go look for this exact setup online- it can't be purchased anywhere. IMO this is excellent. Your Son will be using this!
All those videos of excavators/dozers sliding sideways off trailers as they are loading start with someone saying "I'm not going to put wood on here......."
It is. Nothing quite as scary for me than loading an excavator on a steel trailer. Definitely triple check that the trailer is at least level. At least I'm retired now. I made it. Woohoo. lol
Wow, Steel on Steel, cleats will help but, there nothing like that good wood for it to bight into, and you can get all the wood you want on your jobs ?? You save lots of $$$$, nice job..See Ya
thanks, I needed it for my dozer mainly, but the track loader will be fixed up soon too. I dont think my dump truck will haul that excavator with the dta360...thats what you have too right? I turned up the fuel and got alot more power but still 14 tons is alot of weight
@@eliteearthworksllc I got my eyes on a single axle international 8100 with dt466 and a 20k lift axle. its cab and chassis so I put my dump bed on, its got a 52k gvw! my truck now has a 2 speed rear with 5 speed trans, it helps alot
I thought the same; I'd have slid shrink tubing down all the way into the magnet housing and shrunk it down to isolate the wires. They make liquid wire insulation that you brush on, too; that might have worked well also.
Some company makes shrink wrap tubing that has a adhesive inside. As you heat it, it shrinks, glue liquefies and just starts to ooze out both ends. Best stuff I've ever come across. I first got a few 4" pieces in a replacement gas tank sending unit that came with a 4 wire harness to solder in. It was a 05 ford ranger. Was so impressed I'm going to order rolls of a few different sizes. Seems like a really air/water tight connection. Whether or not that's the best solution for the brake magnet wires I don't know. Sounds better than nothing, but maybe securing them with clips would be a better fix. Or both.
High temp epoxy circuit potting compound works great for insulation between close set conductors. Its comprised of similar materials as the jb weld that he used.
It hurt my OCD seeing him wrap wire like that. Could have cut several pieces of the tape and wrapped it properly. Same function but man would it have been so much cleaner.
i enjoyed this video a lot from A to Z and if someones in the market for a heavy-duty trailer like you were your 20 thousand dollar price tag is right on I watch you and Andrew a lot just wish you could post a little more frequently good job thanks
Hello Jesse, that finished trailer looks the part, 👍👍 So glad you are very Safety Conscious when it comes to carrying plant, as you know the weight of the Dozer is something you don't want to play around with. That was a clever idea adding Gussets to the outer ribs, to transfer weight onto the central spine, and adding additional stiffers to the lower edges of the braces. Very well thought out all round, also the wires run in a conduit to protect them. The attention to detail really pleases me. Many a plant operator would be happy to own that trailer. By doing what you have done, makes it look really professional. I have seen some plant roll up on a site, looking like their gear has just been pulled out off a scrap yard. Bloody brilliant, Top Man Jesse, 👍👍🍺🍺. Best wishes, Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴
Mr Pete said the creator can go into there settings and stop mid roll ads. You Tube changed everything and now it is ad after ad. I always watch the first two so they can make a few pennies, but after that they are just annoying AH.
26:30 you should set the depth on your blade. Great work on that trailer, Jesse!! If I were an old, neglected piece of equipment, I would LOVE to be discovered by you! ha!
As i recall, he said on another video that he wanted the blade at full depth to get a steeper angle for the cutting blade teeth on the metal being cut; otherwise, a shallower cutting angle won't cut as well.
@@nickmastroianni5557 Also with the shoe set at full blade depth , when cutting steel , the blade helps you cut straighter because there is more blade in the cut , If the blade were set to 3/4" depth , there would only be about 4" of blade in the cut . At full depth , there's 8" to 9" of blade in the cut .
44 mins; "Hey, I recognize that sawmill and shed" ! Your right, that yellow sucked! As far as installing wood (for traction and security), I'd just cut some planks of that Hemlock and install it between the traction bars, saving the rigidity, and the labor to remove them and run the planks lengthwise (replace a single piece when it rots !) Great video start to end Jesse !
really nice job, Jessie. You and your co-worker took a beat up 80's trailer (that had good bones) and with hard labor and rebuild skills, tuned that melted bearing piece of semi-junk into a large heavy duty trailer that should last a another decade of everyday use... easily! well done.
Jesse, I like your video and what follows is not hate!!! But the "repair" of the brakes where you soldered and worked with aluminum tape and component glue is DANGEROUS! Brakes develop temperatures of 650 ° C / 1200 ° F, depending on the load (speed, weight on the loading area, braking situation, road holding, weather, material condition of the brakes and tires, slope or incline of the road, etc.)!!! Everything you had done there burns up. There is special lacquer for high temperatures that is used there as well as extra cables that have special insulation that are NOT cut in the middle because they are too short. Continuing to use old wheel bearings can lead to the trailer saying goodbye while driving. By reinserting the wheel bearing, the material of the wheel bearing is compressed accordingly, so that the small balls that are contained there get hairline cracks and through these hairline cracks moisture and dirt can penetrate which, in conjunction with temperature differences, can lead to them bursting. I know what I'm talking about, I learned automotive mechatronics in Germany, including a positive specialist examination! What you have in mind can go well if you roll very slowly from A to B (under 20Km/h / 12-15 ml/h) for a very, very short distance. But that cannot and must not be a permanent state. If only someone in Germany would think of doing something like you, which is more than just life-threatening, they would be thrown out of the company and if someone were harmed it would even be "premeditated murder"! New parts cost money, but are safer and your life is priceless!!!
I know it’s an old video. Enjoy your video’s. Next time you have a race stuck in the hub, take your meg welder and weld around the race on the flat surface when it cools it will contract and Pop right out
@3SGE Nope. Sleeve is super thin and once heated is slipped over the existing shoulder. Takes some skill to install. Usually used w an oversized seal. Most truck rear axles have bolt-on spindles. Trailer axle's spindles r machined before being welded onto the axle tubing. Once damaged repairs r usually a waste of time. Simply buy good used (difficult to find) or new. I know. I worked in a truck workshop that was highly regarded. Axles r relatively dirt cheap. Else if u need low milage option simply scotch brite seal interface and use loctite on bearing IDs. Good enough to get u home or for a few hundred miles. Taper Rollers w undersize IDs r available but then u turning it into a money pit. Using above I got an oversized boat on a trailer from Anchorage to Houston. Bet u Jesse is not going to put on a few hundred miles per year onto that trailer. He will also be checking bearing temp every 30 miles or so.
@3SGE Just checked your video. Jesse's axles r tubes w welded premachined stub axles. Relatively cheap. Incidentally, Pearson grind the bearing journals. Subsequent machining is only going to be a temporary repair. Essentially non repairable.
Talking about doing things right. I am agreed with you but, I kind of didn't enjoy seeing he is painting the metals without getting rid of the surface rust first.
U bought a branew 20" tandom trailer from a friend that got it fr manufacturer called hauling ass trailer in Texas and after I seen the lights mucky mouse I ch it all and whent to repack the bearings and a nail was used instead of a .10 cotter pin and I rewired every thing and put all the wiring in pex tubing to water tight legs and extra 12v from battery for a crain hoist or winch first job out DOT stopped me and did a full inspection I Passed 100% From breaks to lights and weight.
I am very impressed with the before/ after. You have excellent work ethics and you are very talented. The value of your work increased the value of the trailer increased many folds!!!!
When I wire a trailer I cut off a 4 inch long piece of 4 inch square tube then weld a rod nuts on the inside in opposite corners. It gets welded to the tongue of the trailer after I drill the holes for the wires, this is the wire junction box and the lid is made from 1/4 x 4 x 4 steel with 2 holes for bolts that screw into the rod nuts. I always weld a 1/4 inch stainless steel bolt inside to form a stud to hook the ground wires to so it will never loose a ground from rust, done deal. I always use lights that are potted and never use the lights that have a plugin. You can even weld a stainless steel bolt by the lights, it will not rust again done deal. As for lumber use true "white oak" it will last for 20 plus years and not rot because when the wood dries the cells of the wood are closed and it will not let the water inside, all the old fences were made using white oak for this reason. Last tip, use a semi style trailer connector instead of the flat style that comes on pickups, they work much better and are easier to get and usually much cheaper.
What a great video Jesse! You have so much Knowledge on just about anything and it seems if you don't you teach your self. I am a old Man now 80 but when I was your age it meant a lot to learn things as you aged and teach your self how to do just about anything.
Hi guys you are doing a wonderful job restoring this trailer only thing I would’ve done different than you guys I would replaced it with timber course doesn’t matter what machine you load on there specially steel on steel it’s going to be very very slippery timber will wear out but you can always replace it anyway that’s your decision cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
This is the key here. You can have all the big nest machines you want. But you need the trailers to move the stuff. And they need to be safe. And reliable. I know people who’s equipment failed on the road and got people killed. They were never mentally the same after This is serious work right here.
If you have other vehicles that use the same bolt pattern.. you can if you can scrounge a cracked wheel cut the center out of it.. weld a bracket to it. so you can bolt the bracket to the top of the transmission jack to allow you to safely remove and replace brake drum/hubs without a chance of smashing fingers or smashing legs if it rolls off.
Just a piece of advice. If you are going to work on something from the dinosaur age, then spraying it with some penetrating oil a few days or a month in advance would help a lot. I have seen a lot of guys severely hurt from the shock and vibrations off the tools. Work smarter and you won’t suffer with unnecessary body pains later in life. I didn’t have anyone to tell me this before. I hope some will listen because as we age the pains become greater and we take a lot longer to heal.
I don't know what you will be hauling or how you will be hauling it, but you want 60% of the weight in front of the axles and 40% behind. Those axles look really far back for a 6000 pound tongue weight hitch brother. Cool project though.
The first nut should be as tight as you can get it turn the drum tighten again Then back off half turn Or 180% Then put the outside locking nut on Just how I do it never lost or spun a bearing Just how I do it Not giving advice
all that metal can be slippery, I would make a divider about 6 inches high that can be installed along the edge of the long beams that just mount on posts that drop into holes about every 5-6 feet that way if something does slide sideways it would get stopped, if not needed they can be removed
The trailer looks AWESOME Jesse! Great work! Isn't it nice to have something turn out so well after you put all that sweat equity into it? I enjoy that! Now you can put that bad boy to work for years to come!
You need 1inch drive sockets and associated tools for commercials in my opinion sticking a bead or arc weld on your stuck bearing races will help like using the hot spanner 👍🏻🇬🇧
You like buying stuff on the cheap thinking it’ll work , don’t you ? That’s why I think you are ready for an expensive entry level opportunity in the Magic Bean market . . .

Another great vid is there anything you can’t do loved the saws cutting the metal trailer looks built to last well done.
Leverage is everything...I could easily pry the Empire State building out of the ground if I had a lever that reached to the Moon.
I have 2 questions - Are the boards in the middle of the trailer somehow protected from moisture and woodworms? And Second: - are you planning to install an electric winch on the trailer?
Same for winch, he treated the wood.

Pack grease in those bearings, that oil will be ran out on the first trip
@Rob G not true. It done for the convenience of maintenence. When they get low on oil all you have to do is add oil. But when you have a oil seal go out you have to replace the brake shoes too because they get saturated with oil. With grease you have to tear everything apart to repack the bearings every so often for maintenence which is a pain. I have several semi trailers that I run. The ones that are constantly on the road I use oil because it's easier and on the one's that sit 6 month out of the year I use grease because trailers that sit have more tendencies to have leaking seals. Out of curiosity I checked bearing temperatures while loaded and after running around 100 miles on a hot day and the oil bearings were all around 140 degrees which isn't bad but the grease bearings were only 90 to 95 degrees. It's heat that kills oil and bearings. The only problem with grease is you need to keep a better eye on it because unlike oil you can't just check the level.
@Rob G how do you check the oil level in the hubs and top them up?
they run in oil
Some hubs, mostly on heavy trailers are oil, not grease.

@@robertn2813 I liked it too.
Those damn carpenters trying to be mechanics using a claw hammer to get races off. 😂 Love it 👍🏻. Great job Jesse, thanks for another cool video. You and Andrew make it happen.
PS You might have seen my family in the past maybe, I’m originally from Hudson, family bizz Alvarez Modulars. Take care
Andrew doesn't make enough videos!! 😂
@@DarkSevariant Jesse doesn't make enough videos ;-)
I lmao at the “claw chisel” but hell if it works it works
No One of them makes enough vids. :D :D :!!!!!!
"It ain't stupid if it works"
I always weld expanded metal on my ramps to aid in traction when loading, metal trailer and tracks its always butt clincher on my track loader the first couple times coming up the ramps and over the pivot point lol. Nice job
For inner bearing races, weld a bead around them, when they cool, it'll shrink and fall out usually...
I actually did hear about that a long time ago, I guess I forgot about it. good call
I rebuilt a Multi-Quip Concrete mixer a few years ago and had to replace the main bearing for the barrel; I could not figure out how to get the bearing race out; found a YT video on doing the weld a bead technique that you're talking about; just about fell out after it cooled; couldn't believe how easy it was.
@@ebutuoyebutouy I used this technique for both inner and outer; neither would budge using heat and beat. The weld bead (and in fact I think I only did 4 shorter beads equally distributed around the race) "shrunk" the race when the bead cooled so it came out easy. These races were pretty large; the mixer had been run by the previous owner after the bearing had failed for quite a while; it was really screwed up in there.
@@ront8261 Ok. Confusion. There is an inner and an outer bearing. Each bearing has an inner race, and an outer race. Yup, good way to remove the outer race from the hub is to weld, both for inner and outer bearing. Yipee
@@ebutuoyebutouy Oh; got it; i was referring to the outer race of both the inner and outer bearing.
Jesse, Overkill in the beginning saves time down the road and gives you peace of mind . Nice rebuild

Jesse love the videos. Bur would highly recommend putting a wood deck back on. When loading steel track machinery on it in the winter or when wet will be bad. Never want to load on to a steel deck. Bad bad idea.
He covered that...
I was thinking the same thing, hopefully Jesse won’t have any problems!
thats why I took so much time to put the cleats on
Make extra sure it's level side to side.
If I'm not mistaken, the load rating is higher with steel deck?
Should've put a wood deck on it that diamond will be a pain when it rains or snows going to make it slippery
yeah i gotta agree--way to slippery when wet or snow on it. ur gonna slide right off it then.
Spray some gritty paint or bedliner on it maybe
For all you young guys out there who think they can lift the world and tote it around I thought the same. Now at 62 my back isn't worth a damn. Can't pick up much more that a matchbook. Use your head and not your back. Glad to see the you had help when you replaced the hubs. I painted a 18 foot trailer with a roller and brushes once. Won't do that again. Good job and good looking trailer. Should give you years of service.
You should introduce the guys you have helping you whenever they are on camera. Thanks for all the awesome video's
When you guys spray paint stuff, wear a chemical respirator. When you're young you're invincible but that crap could cause problems later on in life.
That came out sweet ! Yeah steel on steel is super slippery be careful always be level or it will be off on its side trust me ! You can weld an angle iron on each side of the wood then it can't slide off left the right.. be a bumper rail
I am definitely going to weld on a piece of angle iron in the middle, I just didnt have the steel to do it at the moment. It was another trip to albany steel to get it, but I am about to build a grizzley screener so I will get the steel when I get the steel for that. good call
@@jmuller86 Dirt Perfect has a sweet setup on his lowboy to keep his tracked equipment where it belongs on the trailer.
@@jmuller86 make a detailed video of the grizzly screener project lots of people look at those videos. Many of them on you tube.
suggestion first do a video on what you plan on building before you build it, people watching can make suggestions on what your plans are, many of the suggestions might be benifical to your project. those that built them have ideas of how they would do things differently on a second build.
@@jmuller86 sometimes it's better to consult an engineer during a build like this . you can only have so much reinforcing here and there . you want to transport heavy equipment . the last thing you want , is for your trailer to BE that heavy equipment you're transporting . great job J . and thanks for furionese for the pizza , lol . some vloggers should have a pizza warning........." WARNING , ONE HOUR VIDEO OF BUILDING STUFF....PIZZA IS ADVISED "
@@robertn2813 Old Russian Engineer saying: "Da, if it looks right it probably is right".
I'm just 24 minutes in this Video and i can already tell this trailer is going to be just like new..
You do good work and no shortcuts...Do it right or don't do it at all best way to tackle a project Wtg Bud
Keep em comin Jesse...thumbs Up----------> Okay back to finish watching this Vid...
Bud wheels smh. You forget what they were like once center pilot wheels made the scene. Or the old split rim Dayton wheels before tubeless tires came along. Looks like you found yourself a good trailer for the kinds of work you into.
Great 👍 Content best of luck 🤞
I agree with the all wood deck, especially since you have the wood and the ability to cut it. Hemlock should last a long time. Have you seen the rails that Dirt Perfect has to put in stake pockets on the center of his trailer to stop tracks from sliding sideways?
Love when old junk gets a new life sometimes we really don't need brand new products.
Great job. The fact that you cut your own lumber is one of the coolest parts to me but i do love the diamond plate as well. Could add texture to the paint for anti slippage.
Yes another video. Great video. I personally think a timber deck is safer for friction coefficient, especially with track vehicles such as excavators and heavy plant. It will aid the load stability and reduce lateral slip causing an unstable load
I like the idea of the plates Dirt Perfect has between the tracks on his lowboy. They are going to stop any sideways sliding when it gets slippy. You can see them in the background @5.27 in this video ruclips.net/video/uxQ7u3n2174/видео.html I have seen Chris Guin (Letsdig18) have big problems loading their dozer in the wet because the trailer was parked on a camber, and Jeff Anderson (JPayDirt) has also had some sketchy moments - and he is moving some big equipment!
I haul heavy equipment for a living my lowboy has a hydraulically driven steel dove tail with cleats and a wood deck both get dang slippery and dangerous in the rain, mud, snow and ice. However I feel that the track machines do end up digging into to the wood a bit better for traction but the boards end up getting chewed up fast needing replacement. be careful and go slow is by best advice except if you're sliding coming down on the ramp I've found its best to "gun it" before the machine slides sideways. Also i have better luck getting those mini excavators on with the arm headed to the front of the trailer and the push blade towards the rear. Happy to answer any questions or share my experience to help out and to find what works best for you. Thanks for the video trailer turned out real nice looking .
Really can’t understand why the algorithm is keeping you down but I’m glad I found this channel last year. Appreciate and relate to your sense of not cutting corners on your residential builds. I’m a contractor and follow that same rule every day. I haven’t had a single complaint about a thing I saw on the addition build. You guys are all right. Great work, great problem solving. ✌️
Welding to rust?
go to dirt perfects channel and see his safety rail on his trailer so equipment cant fall off.i thought all wheel bearings are packed with grease??
No a good amount of them are oil bath on bigger trailers and road tractors
the barings needs grease not oil
Great job!! Subscribed, you earned it man.
thanks, is this the real Chucke? really good to hear from you if so
@@jmuller86 Yes that is him. He is the first person I started watching on RUclips about a year and a half ago.
Muddy steel tracks will slide off that metal deck it sucks to ride a dozer off one
I haul equipment every day and i would prefer an oak deck over steel any day when hauling steel track machines. nice job on the trailer.
Yea my loader started slipping at the pivot point once, i throttled it wide open and luckily got it twisted enough that it went off backwards off the side. Sit the bucket down on the deck and backed it on off in the ditch, laid boards down before and after the pivot until we bought a wood deck about like this one.
Great video ,Jessie. Given the prior rust damage have you considered drilling drainage holes in the U cross members at the bottom of the trailer to let water drain? Awesome amount of hard work and knowledge went into this rebuild which otherwise would just be scrap iron ! 👍👍👍🤩🏆
Right when I said "that's a nice breaker bar..."
Now- it needs a bolted down utility box or tote, to hold chains & anchoring devices-
bungee, rags, couple cheap tarps, rope, maybe a triangle set. An AGM battery
for a winch? Walmart has really decent hinge-lidded ABS totes.
I'd like to see a "revisit" video of this now, after 2 years of use, anyway, please consider
the utility box?
Since you have all four brake wires coming to that box, I think it would be a good idea to install a fuse on each line. Measure the current to the solenoids and select a fuse a bit higher than that. If one of them ever shorts to ground in the future that heavy gauge wire will ensure that it receives all the current the controller can deliver, disabling the rest of the brakes.

Have you ever seen anyone like Jesse?!? He can do it all and does it right! Totally awesome🤙✌️
I can’t believe that him and Andrew are friends and have both been making videos and I just now found out about him!! Been watching AC for years.
for about 20 bucks or so at harbor freight you could get a pray gun and buy your paint by quart or gallon and save a heck of a lot of money and time. old timer
Nice friggin work..... I was going to say, its like a 20 k trailer... for 4 k, thats a nice trailer for what you need... BTW, always use a breaker bar for tough nuts, lol... not a ratchet. Now you have to put new guts in the ratchet... another project...
It looked like he broke the breaker bar first, and had to use the ratchet after that. Lol. I have the same Chinese 3/4" drive set. I broke the ratchet for my set, too; did it at work, so my union told the company they had to replace it, and they gave me a nice 3/4" drive Proto. That ratchet cost more than twice what the socket set did. 😂 The rest of the set has lasted okay, though, for the odd occasion when I needed bigger sockets. I mostly work on normal cars and trucks, not heavy stuff. 🤷
If you strap down the bulldozer like that in Australia you be fined heavily that track could break where you fastened it down anyway And hope the dozer doesn’t move on you all the best hope it doesn’t break On your Cliff from Australia
I did wonder about that, kinda makes sense
Great video. By the way, I use white or yellow paint as much as possible underneath chassis, so that dark cracks, rust or defects show up clearly if they occur. It makes it brighter for underside work anyway. Another tip is to work on light coloured concrete etc whenever possible, to reflect up daylight.
Jessie, I can see your workmanship and name on everything you craft.
I am the same way. HD used to stand for something, but nowadays
it's just a marketing ploy. "HD" "Ultra" "Max" "HQ" are just total lies.
This new generation of throw away doesn't know what real durability means,
or entails. Everything is produced with cheap materials, cheap, unskilled Slave
labor, and then marked up for even more profit.
This trailer is a prime example- go look for this exact setup online-
it can't be purchased anywhere. IMO this is excellent. Your Son will be using this!
yea its a nice trailer. I havent used it much, I will probably use my lowboy more than anything this year. I love loading low to the ground
@@jmuller86 Thank you for replying!
Great video. the trailer looks bran new, you did a great job. the hole set up look's good.
I would think it’s going to be slippery with steel tracks on the diamond plate.
All those videos of excavators/dozers sliding sideways off trailers as they are loading start with someone saying "I'm not going to put wood on here......."
It is. Nothing quite as scary for me than loading an excavator on a steel trailer. Definitely triple check that the trailer is at least level. At least I'm retired now. I made it. Woohoo. lol
Those are oil bath hubs, no grease. seal should be driven onto the housing not the hub, good job tho
Wow, Steel on Steel, cleats will help but, there nothing like that good wood for it to bight into, and you can get all the wood you want on your jobs ?? You save lots of $$$$, nice job..See Ya
G'day nice trailer mate. I like buying stuff like this what needs work so i can make it like i want 👍
Nice work man! Trailer looks great and will be a huge time saver hauling multiple machines. 👍🏻
thanks, I needed it for my dozer mainly, but the track loader will be fixed up soon too. I dont think my dump truck will haul that excavator with the dta360...thats what you have too right? I turned up the fuel and got alot more power but still 14 tons is alot of weight
@@jmuller86 mine has the DT466 but a 4 speed automatic they are just such under powered trucks. It may pull it but it probably won’t like it
@@eliteearthworksllc I got my eyes on a single axle international 8100 with dt466 and a 20k lift axle. its cab and chassis so I put my dump bed on, its got a 52k gvw! my truck now has a 2 speed rear with 5 speed trans, it helps alot
@@jmuller86 oh nice that will be a really nice truck. Yes that would help on that truck
My favorite you tuber thanks for the video 👍👍👍
18:40 Would heat-shrink wire tubing work on the wires in the brake hub assembly?
I thought the same; I'd have slid shrink tubing down all the way into the magnet housing and shrunk it down to isolate the wires. They make liquid wire insulation that you brush on, too; that might have worked well also.
I would order oven wire/furnace wire.
Some company makes shrink wrap tubing that has a adhesive inside. As you heat it, it shrinks, glue liquefies and just starts to ooze out both ends. Best stuff I've ever come across. I first got a few 4" pieces in a replacement gas tank sending unit that came with a 4 wire harness to solder in. It was a 05 ford ranger. Was so impressed I'm going to order rolls of a few different sizes. Seems like a really air/water tight connection. Whether or not that's the best solution for the brake magnet wires I don't know. Sounds better than nothing, but maybe securing them with clips would be a better fix. Or both.
High temp epoxy circuit potting compound works great for insulation between close set conductors. Its comprised of similar materials as the jb weld that he used.
It hurt my OCD seeing him wrap wire like that. Could have cut several pieces of the tape and wrapped it properly. Same function but man would it have been so much cleaner.
i enjoyed this video a lot from A to Z and if someones in the market for a heavy-duty trailer like you were your 20 thousand dollar price tag is right on I watch you and Andrew a lot just wish you could post a little more frequently good job thanks
The one thing you never go cheap on is brakes, for your sake of mind I hope nothing goes wrong.
Grease any electrical cable you pull through conduit.
Hello Jesse, that finished trailer looks the part, 👍👍 So glad you are very Safety Conscious when it comes to carrying plant, as you know the weight of the Dozer is something you don't want to play around with.
That was a clever idea adding Gussets to the outer ribs, to transfer weight onto the central spine, and adding additional stiffers to the lower edges of the braces. Very well thought out all round, also the wires run in a conduit to protect them. The attention to detail really pleases me. Many a plant operator would be happy to own that trailer. By doing what you have done, makes it look really professional.
I have seen some plant roll up on a site, looking like their gear has just been pulled out off a scrap yard. Bloody brilliant, Top Man Jesse, 👍👍🍺🍺. Best wishes, Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴
Ads are popping up every 3 minutes or so. I understand the revenue argument but it makes it real hard to watch.
amen
Mr Pete said the creator can go into there settings and stop mid roll ads. You Tube changed everything and now it is ad after ad. I always watch the first two so they can make a few pennies, but after that they are just annoying AH.
To avoid steel on steel get your self conveyor belt rubber strips under tracks it worked for me! Cheers
thought this was andrews old trailer for a second
Likewise
This is a prime example of doing things right, good on you. Too many people cheap out when fixing stuff.
Nice build, use some old conveyor belt on bed of the trailer when loading anything with steel tracks
Very cool. I'd never seen that kind of gauge that measures the amount of end play. Oh, and having your own bandsaw mill is sweet!
Impressive. You’re a talented guy. Love that you made your own Planks. You put in a lot of time on this project. Well done.👍
I don’t know but I was digging the yellow 🤷🏼♂️
Steel tracks will grip on the extra grips that you have fitted, You will have no problem we use to load excavators all the time, 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
26:30 you should set the depth on your blade. Great work on that trailer, Jesse!! If I were an old, neglected piece of equipment, I would LOVE to be discovered by you! ha!
As i recall, he said on another video that he wanted the blade at full depth to get a steeper angle for the cutting blade teeth on the metal being cut; otherwise, a shallower cutting angle won't cut as well.
@@nickmastroianni5557 Also with the shoe set at full blade depth , when cutting steel , the blade helps you cut straighter because there is more blade in the cut , If the blade were set to 3/4" depth , there would only be about 4" of blade in the cut . At full depth , there's 8" to 9" of blade in the cut .
44 mins; "Hey, I recognize that sawmill and shed" ! Your right, that yellow sucked! As far as installing wood (for traction and security), I'd just cut some planks of that Hemlock and install it between the traction bars, saving the rigidity, and the labor to remove them and run the planks lengthwise (replace a single piece when it rots !) Great video start to end Jesse !
It is already heavy as hell. I guess more wood won't hurt anything.
really nice job, Jessie. You and your co-worker took a beat up 80's trailer (that had good bones) and with hard labor and rebuild skills, tuned that melted bearing piece of semi-junk into a large heavy duty trailer that should last a another decade of everyday use... easily! well done.
Jesse, I like your video and what follows is not hate!!!
But the "repair" of the brakes where you soldered and worked with aluminum tape and component glue is DANGEROUS!
Brakes develop temperatures of 650 ° C / 1200 ° F, depending on the load (speed, weight on the loading area, braking situation, road holding, weather, material condition of the brakes and tires, slope or incline of the road, etc.)!!!
Everything you had done there burns up.
There is special lacquer for high temperatures that is used there as well as extra cables that have special insulation that are NOT cut in the middle because they are too short.
Continuing to use old wheel bearings can lead to the trailer saying goodbye while driving. By reinserting the wheel bearing, the material of the wheel bearing is compressed accordingly, so that the small balls that are contained there get hairline cracks and through these hairline cracks moisture and dirt can penetrate which, in conjunction with temperature differences, can lead to them bursting.
I know what I'm talking about, I learned automotive mechatronics in Germany, including a positive specialist examination!
What you have in mind can go well if you roll very slowly from A to B (under 20Km/h / 12-15 ml/h) for a very, very short distance.
But that cannot and must not be a permanent state. If only someone in Germany would think of doing something like you, which is more than just life-threatening, they would be thrown out of the company and if someone were harmed it would even be "premeditated murder"!
New parts cost money, but are safer and your life is priceless!!!
Amazing work, well done, eye opener for a cityboy. Thank you.
I know it’s an old video. Enjoy your video’s. Next time you have a race stuck in the hub, take your meg welder and weld around the race on the flat surface when it cools it will contract and Pop right out
21:20 you could always try a speedi sleeve on there. i doubt the silicone will do much, you'll probably end up with a leaking wheel seal there.
I didnt realize they made something for that, I will check into it
@3SGE Nope. Sleeve is super thin and once heated is slipped over the existing shoulder. Takes some skill to install. Usually used w an oversized seal. Most truck rear axles have bolt-on spindles. Trailer axle's spindles r machined before being welded onto the axle tubing. Once damaged repairs r usually a waste of time. Simply buy good used (difficult to find) or new. I know. I worked in a truck workshop that was highly regarded. Axles r relatively dirt cheap. Else if u need low milage option simply scotch brite seal interface and use loctite on bearing IDs. Good enough to get u home or for a few hundred miles. Taper Rollers w undersize IDs r available but then u turning it into a money pit. Using above I got an oversized boat on a trailer from Anchorage to Houston. Bet u Jesse is not going to put on a few hundred miles per year onto that trailer. He will also be checking bearing temp every 30 miles or so.
@3SGE Just checked your video. Jesse's axles r tubes w welded premachined stub axles. Relatively cheap. Incidentally, Pearson grind the bearing journals. Subsequent machining is only going to be a temporary repair. Essentially non repairable.
@3SGE Easier said than done. Gotta grind off the welding carefully. Spindle slides into axle tube. Google "northern tool axle spindle".
What I like most about Jesse videos is his “doing things right.” Doesn’t look for cheap short cuts or cut corners.
Talking about doing things right. I am agreed with you but, I kind of didn't enjoy seeing he is painting the metals without getting rid of the surface rust first.
I guess you missed the part of the video where he did the brakes
U bought a branew 20" tandom trailer from a friend that got it fr manufacturer called hauling ass trailer in Texas and after I seen the lights mucky mouse I ch it all and whent to repack the bearings and a nail was used instead of a .10 cotter pin and I rewired every thing and put all the wiring in pex tubing to water tight legs and extra 12v from battery for a crain hoist or winch first job out DOT stopped me and did a full inspection I Passed 100% From breaks to lights and weight.
Early morning here in India and a brand new Jessy Muller video. Life is Good 👍
Holy shit I could have sworn I was watching Andrew camarata! Idk but I'm pretty sure y'all probably know each other😂😂😂
I am very impressed with the before/ after. You have excellent work ethics and you are very talented. The value of your work increased the value of the trailer increased many folds!!!!
When I wire a trailer I cut off a 4 inch long piece of 4 inch square tube then weld a rod nuts on the inside in opposite corners. It gets welded to the tongue of the trailer after I drill the holes for the wires, this is the wire junction box and the lid is made from 1/4 x 4 x 4 steel with 2 holes for bolts that screw into the rod nuts. I always weld a 1/4 inch stainless steel bolt inside to form a stud to hook the ground wires to so it will never loose a ground from rust, done deal. I always use lights that are potted and never use the lights that have a plugin. You can even weld a stainless steel bolt by the lights, it will not rust again done deal. As for lumber use true "white oak" it will last for 20 plus years and not rot because when the wood dries the cells of the wood are closed and it will not let the water inside, all the old fences were made using white oak for this reason. Last tip, use a semi style trailer connector instead of the flat style that comes on pickups, they work much better and are easier to get and usually much cheaper.
The Milwaukee metal cutting saw id ' Badd to the Bone ' . Great Video .
YO you godda torque wrench over here..lol sounds like a mobster..lol
Awesome job Jesse 👍 Thanks for the knowledge😇
If you ever load in frozen. Nothing is over kill when it comes to traction and tracks
What a great video Jesse! You have so much Knowledge on just about anything and it seems if you don't you teach your self.

Hi guys you are doing a wonderful job restoring this trailer only thing I would’ve done different than you guys I would replaced it with timber course doesn’t matter what machine you load on there specially steel on steel it’s going to be very very slippery timber will wear out but you can always replace it anyway that’s your decision cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Wow, you did an amaaaaazing, job on this trailer. My husband and I like the black paint better too. Stay safe
This is the key here. You can have all the big nest machines you want. But you need the trailers to move the stuff.
And they need to be safe. And reliable.
I know people who’s equipment failed on the road and got people killed.
They were never mentally the same after
This is serious work right here.
How about a lock box to store chains and straps?
If you have other vehicles that use the same bolt pattern.. you can if you can scrounge a cracked wheel cut the center out of it.. weld a bracket to it. so you can bolt the bracket to the top of the transmission jack to allow you to safely remove and replace brake drum/hubs without a chance of smashing fingers or smashing legs if it rolls off.
The 'before and after' of this trailer transformation is incredible, great job!
Just a piece of advice. If you are going to work on something from the dinosaur age, then spraying it with some penetrating oil a few days or a month in advance would help a lot.
I have seen a lot of guys severely hurt from the shock and vibrations off the tools.
Work smarter and you won’t suffer with unnecessary body pains later in life.
I didn’t have anyone to tell me this before. I hope some will listen because as we age the pains become greater and we take a lot longer to heal.
I feel like we should be wearing goggles in a few spots while watching this.
risking losing an eye is a part of being a man
I don't know what you will be hauling or how you will be hauling it, but you want 60% of the weight in front of the axles and 40% behind. Those axles look really far back for a 6000 pound tongue weight hitch brother. Cool project though.
I like the fact that you just pushed through and got it done. Even madenur own tools, nice! You would make it just fine in Alaska
The kind accelerator intuitively succeed because addition decisively groan abaft a determined russia. bloody, careful stepmother
Any more vids on the addtion of the old house u were working on or is it completed? Great vids by the way.
The first nut should be as tight as you can get it turn the drum tighten again
Then back off half turn
Or 180%
Then put the outside locking nut on
Just how I do it never lost or spun a bearing
Just how I do it
Not giving advice
Yellow would've been fine... if it was that darker CAT yellow.
Good job nonetheless.
that paint I used was called cat yellow, but it was too bright
@@jmuller86 yeah , far too bright . I think you had " I'M OVER HERE !!! " yellow , lol
all that metal can be slippery, I would make a divider about 6 inches high that can be installed along the edge of the long beams that just mount on posts that drop into holes about every 5-6 feet that way if something does slide sideways it would get stopped, if not needed they can be removed
