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.

[@cayminlast]

Awesome job. You guys took an old rusty neglected thing and turned it into a good working trailer that looks fantastic.

[@AW-Services]

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

[@TrevorDennis100]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6m0aKhpo5dkbZY 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!

[@thekid3032]

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 .

[@geofflewis4815]

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, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@genegoodman5233]

Remember, this was a 15 ton rated trailer when new. All you needed to do was replace the wheel bearings and a new floor. So all this extra bracing and support you added pushed the ratings up another 3-4 tons. The trailer was built with 20-30% safety factors. The axles and bearings are now your weak areas and they have a 30% safety factor. This came from a trailer company where I bought my axles for a 16’ trailer I built in 1982. I have built 6 different trailers for my own use and I guarantee everyone of them were overloaded at so point, never had any problems. It’s a great looking trailer and everything I build is like you “OVERBUILT”. The area for chains would serve you better if you closed it in, like you said and put a lockable top on it. Enjoyed watching your videos, got a bunch of catching up to do. I’ve binge watching Andrew for the last 3 weeks and probably saw your butt on top of his castle several times. Take care stay safe.

For inner bearing races, weld a bead around them, when they cool, it'll shrink and fall out usually...

[@ront8261]

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.

[@ront8261]

@@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.

[@ebutuoyebutouy]

@@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

[@johnsomerset1510]

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!

44 mins; "Hey, I recognize that sawmill and shed" ! Your right, that yellow sucked!

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.

Pack grease in those bearings, that oil will be ran out on the first trip

[@clydeacor1911]

@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.

It’s finally worth milling your own lumber now. Fir a while anyways. Beauty. Hope we see that trailer all lit up at night.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day nice trailer mate. I like buying stuff like this what needs work so i can make it like i want 👍

[@robmosher362]

Great video, you did an excellent job bringing your audience along with the improvements. We are surprised that the wheel bearings were not grease packed. More videos please, even if they may seem mundane. We never tire of them.

[@GardenStateDan]

Make sure you pack those brearings! Very important for longevity!

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

Those are oil bath hubs.....you do not pack those with grease!

[@theclintified]

Good Job Jesse, always enjoy your videos.

[@ohcrapwhatsnext]

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...

[@tedbownas2748]

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. 🤷

[@BillyLapTop]

Great project! I love your attention to detail and thinking things out in advance.

[@damienmielcarek356]

Should've put a wood deck on it that diamond will be a pain when it rains or snows going to make it slippery

[@bigjim5723]

yeah i gotta agree--way to slippery when wet or snow on it. ur gonna slide right off it then.

[@arisaka9963]

Spray some gritty paint or bedliner on it maybe

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Looking great!! Does my heart good to see young guys not afraid to work!!!

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

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?

[@markb1487]

Oh man,, if we ever had rusted on nuts on studs we used to put "red diesel" on them,, just sprayed it on, left it a few days, then did them again.. Never failed,, loosed them off a treat.. Never had to cut any off.. Great video... Brings back some good memories.. 👌👍

nice job jesse looks great and the angle iron on the side sounds like a good idea

[@jmuller86]

thanks, and yea It would be better on the outside, but the excavator sticks out past the deck by 3 inches on each side so it has to go in the middle

[@danwheeler5130]

@@jmuller86 ok didn't know that

[@krashdown102]

thought this was andrews old trailer for a second

[@joconnor3567]

Likewise

[@SoupyOatmeal]

I saw you put oil on the tapered roller wheel bearings I always used to pack them with that blue grease. Great build video.

[@jmuller86]

these are oil bath axles

[@dexterquincy1]

The one thing you never go cheap on is brakes, for your sake of mind I hope nothing goes wrong.

[@ackack612]

You bet! I just watched an 80 minute video on rebuilding a trailer..... something I will never do let alone own! But I knew the rebuild would be well done and it was. Worth watching.

[@davidgrass3719]

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

Hey Jesse, I hope you got this cheap! I’ve never seen worse bearings. I hope you and your family are all well, stay safe!
