Eager Beaver 20-ton tag trailer Rehab - Part 3

In this video a lot of progress is made and the Eager Beaver 20-ton tag trailer is functional again. Tried a different technique with the crane to re-install the axles that worked really well.

Trailer looking awesome!!! Good feeling when you got to pull it down the road again I bet!!!

[@DillonHFM]

Yeah, long time coming, still a few things to straighten out, but have been using it a bunch. I will try and get it painted up and nice here soon

[@1921Avery]

Thanks for getting back on the trailer good job ! would like to see the video on rebuilding the axles . Keep up the good work

[@DillonHFM]

I will add an axle video to the list of stuff to put together and put up. Always trying to get everything done, hoping to get a few of the projects finished up

This series was awesome. Definitely have it a like. Exactly what I need to see so I know what I’m getting into when take on my 20 ton trailer. Thanks!

[@DillonHFM]

Glad to hear it!

I clicked to see the old kobelco working. Rare sight in my part of the world now

[@DillonHFM]

still goes pretty well

I plan on cutting an I beam slot through one side outer rail with a torch. Then slide the beam in as one piece. Go back and fill that slot with weld. A friend of mine did it and he said it works fantastic.

[@DillonHFM]

I thought about doing it that way, and if I do another one, will either do that, or cut one whole side off if it needs more cross members. The way I did it was a pain in the butt

[@Searching_for_the_truth789]

That's crazy I ran into the same problem with the front leaf spring bracket bolt not lining up.

[@DillonHFM]

sometimes it just takes a little bit of persistence to get it all back together

[@WOWNUT97VT01]

See a few VT plates and charlebois mud flaps. Small world, although this footage might be older- things are a little more white outside now.

[@DillonHFM]

it's not very old, this fall. Nice fresh mudflaps and plates

[@paulchoiniere7322]

A few of his buddies worked there or are in the circle

[@Raffertylandscaping]

Where did you buy all the hangers from? Online or local dealer?

[@DillonHFM]

I got those from a local truck shop, they are pretty standard

[@DillonHFM]

they are pretty simple once you get into them, just a lot of cutting, measuring and welding. Glad you like it
