OOPS!
I put the photos to wrap up THIS discussion in with my general project discussion.

On another note, related to the trailer tongue, my tongue seems kinda wonky. It appears as if someone may have cut off the original hitch end and then welded either the old one or a new one on TOP of the old channels. So, essentially the WELDS appear to be holding the weight of the trailer. Doesn't seem like a good idea.

Anyone?

Larry?

Jen-- would need to see a picture of it to make a guess. However, a good weld is just as strong as the metal it joins together. (note that I said a GOOD weld). Prob the reason it was cut off and put on top was a quick fix to lower the tongue height........ Larry

Jen--- that's certainly no weaker than the rest of the frame. Not exactly the prettiest of welds, but looks like there will be no worry. Larry
