Utility trailer tire and wheel upgrade. Using salvaged parts.

I wanted to add some better tires and wheels to my small utility trailer. I used some old tires wheels and spindles from a junk pile snowmobile trailer. This upgrade should help when getting firewood in wet areas of our property. #firewood #uppermichigan #utilitytrailer

2 u-bolts per leaf spring is for suckers. Thanks for show-n the way Mike. "Should be good to 100... ", classic.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Donald. I know right who needs 2 u-bolts anyway!

Looks nice, should help in the soft ground

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Oldtimer. I sure hope it helps.

[@jeffpeters1014]

Welding is a skill that I never picked up . The wider tire will be easier on the trails.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Thanks Jeff. I'm a self taught welder not a professional by any means.

[@bhall7997]

Treasure pile !!!

[@Lifeinthe906]

Yes sir lots of good stuff in there.

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

Nice job Mike that trailer going to big enough for your project? How’s the mosquitoes up there? Going up to camp in a couple weeks just wondering if there still sucking away or die down a little

[@Lifeinthe906]

The trailer is too small but it is the only thing light enough not to sink in the mud! The mosquitoes are bad still but nothing like they were a few weeks ago.

[@firewoodathome]

I was looking at doing the same on my little trailer. I have some golf cart wheels the same bolt pattern, just not enough clearance to the springs and shackles.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Any way you could space them out?

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Should work ok on the soft ground, remember do not overload it better to make a few more trips then fight sinking in the mud

[@Lifeinthe906]

For sure. There will be a lot of trips made on to the more solid ground. Thanks Larry
