Last week the little venders trailer showed up from Connecticut for some mods and repairs.
He wanted to finally hook up the brakes after 4 years of me telling him he was pushing his luck hauling a trailer that weighed half as much as his F150 all over the east coast in all kinds of weather without brakes. So it took the trailer almost pushing him into the rear end of a cop after the officer had gone around him and cut him off by deciding to go from the left lane of 4 to exit right in front of him, to decide he should have brakes.
While the trailer was here he wanted to do away with a shelf on the vender side and replace some aluminum.
I decided to repack the wheel bearings since I knew if he hadn't bothered to hook up the brakes he surely hadn't checked the bearings either.
the following pictures show a little better view of how the trailer works. with the elevating main shelf and the winged shelves.
Some things are self explanatory but one note as to why the long bolts on the link bars. they are there to serve as a stop for the shelf going up
As it was with the fold down shelf
his wiring after he had drug all of the wires off of it
found this on a 1 year old tire when getting ready to work on the brakes
side sheet removed
This is the winch for raising the big shelf unit
routing of the cables mirror to this on the other end
link bars mirror on other end
long pivot bolt stops shelf also no threads are in the bronze bearing
New side new longer door to eliminate the folding shelf
Wiring still now how I wanted to do it but 100 times better than before
