Repairing another aluminum livestock trailer

Another aluminum livestock trailer repair in which the back corners have cracked and gotten weak causing the rear gate to not close correctly. Welding repair and fabrication of plates to reinforce the structure and welding was done with aluminum MIG spoolgun.

Thanks for the video glad to see we are not the only ones that have to work on horse trailers. The rivets that were on those pieces are called a blind Huck or a BOM Rivet. I have repair them both ways welding and riveting, and I believe that using the Bom rivets are the best way to fix them as it does allow some movement and does break out. Again thanks for the videos.

As a mechanic it makes me happy to see a welder that cares about light wiring. When I show up to fix lights on log trailers I always walk the length of it looking for fresh welding.

Huck rivet, used them on shipboard work years ago at a Navy Yard near here.

CB, I know that you know this but for those who don’t, if it’s aluminum and it cracked; chances are it WILL crack again. Even though you’ve reinforced it. Stock trailers are famous for breaking where this one did. I always say that, “If you buy aluminum, you’re buying future cracks”.

Princess Diane is a nice looking cat Clay. I like people who are nice to animals - being nice to animals is free, as is not being nice to animals - except being nice to 'em means you aren't a c*** - which is always important. Watch how people are around animals - it tells you all.
