New Axle

Well, I decided that old bent axle was not going to do it. I went and bought a piece of 2"x2" 1/4" thick square tubing and with what I gathered from some scrap Iron and with Louie's help with the welding, we built a new axle with a new design. As you can see, the spindle now bolts to the end of the axle with 4 grade 6 bolts. This makes things easier when it comes to aligning the wheels with the tongue of the trailer. We can now use shims as we need them between the spindle and the axle.. Sorry I didn't take pictures of the construction of the axle but I forgot my camera at home and we built the axle in Bozeman.
