Part 2 of my Lawn Trailer build includes frame bracing, building the scissor lift, and building hinges for the dump bed. To view the Playlist of this build: • #174 Building a Lawn T...
Thank you Dennis. I have one more project to complete before putting up the welder for the hot weather. I have a show coming up in May so I will be doing more Woodturning videos very soon. Just trying to get ready for summer with the yard and garden. Take care my friend.
Glad you were able to straighten the frame without too much trouble. There are tons of videos out there showing what order to make tacks and full welds on rectangular frames to prevent twisting and warping. Awesome build so far.
Thank you and you are correct. I was very careful not to warp the frame but ended up getting it to hot in the center on each side welding the axle hangers. The fix was much easier than I thought. Thank you for your suggestions and I will watch some more videos on that subject. Take care.
i have watched this series at least a half dozen times and enjoyed it every time. i am building myself a trailer pretty much the same as yours. thanks for the great videos
Nice trailer. I would drill and tap for zerts in your bushings. I have a tilt motor off an outboard that I intend to use in a similar build down the road. Very useful item.
Thank you Doug. Glad you like it. It works really well as hopefully you will see in Part 3. It has a very strong lift capacity on the dump bed. It was a very fun build.
The trailer is looking good. The bracing you put on the tongue and front cross member should (will) stop any twisting. Job well done. Looking forward to the finished product. You may have to get a bigger tractor to pull it with now.
Thank you David. I think the bracing will be fine for a lawn trailer and Yes, I am already looking into a new Garden Tractor instead of a Riding Mower. Take care.
Thank you Sylvain. They are small but still have a 13 inch diameter. I could have gotten taller ones but they weren't as strong. That is why I have these "for now". I can change them later if needed. Thank you for commenting and take care.
Still with ya man -- I love watching your work whatever it is! Please keep sharing. Stay safe my friend - Regards to your family. Dennis

Thank you Derek. I think it will do for what I need. Glad you are enjoying this project.
Looking ok’ing like a very heavy lawn trailer. Should hold up for as long as you’ll ever need it.
