Well folks. I have spent most of my summer in the gardening farming section of AS.

Now its time to start some cutting and hauling. Here is my new wood hauling out of the woods project.

It all started with a 4wheeler that I found in the bottom of a junk pile. 1999 Yamaha wolverine 4 wheel drive.

When I got it, it did start but smoked bad!! I had people asking me to come and fumigate their neighborhoods for mosquitoes. It had no brakes, gummed up carb, all sorts of bad wiring and some rear end bearing problems.

Over the last 2 months it has turned into this.

Runs great (after top end rebuild) and has had a lot of stuff fixed. Still have a lot to do to it.

Now my trailer started off like this.

I had put that little trailer through hell and my dog is telling me if I ride in it, i am going to get hurt.
I replaced the bucket with diamond plate steel. Reenforced the tongue, welded all of the tilt mechanism shut.

It is now looking like this.

I still have to replace the wheels because when I loaded it full of wood in the woods it did this.

Well thought I would share my project. I hope you are all doing great and being safe.
 
I had the same problem with my wood wagon. I took two used front wheel hubs from a cavelier and bolted them to an axle that I welded studs to.

I found some brand new spare tires/wheels in the trunks at a wrecking yard. I figured if the can support a car it will work for my wagon. Total cost zero dollars.
 
I have a similar trailer that I abuse. I welded all the seems and gusseted the upright from the dump mechanism. The car spare tires is a great idea, when I load my trailer up it looks like I have two flats. Gotta make a saw mount for your racks on that quad, keep up the good work :clap:

I didn't have a pic of the front rack box that I built.

I made this from the leftovers of the trailer project.
