I've gotta have something quickly. It's got to be a 53/102 trailer, prefer tandem duals under it, but not being picky. I'm loosing way too much money every week without it. I've given in and I'll buy something cheap till I can build another money maker.

Looking to buy/lease/lease to own. If someone out there has something, let me know.

Coop,

What's it need? 3 axles, 6 tires, all new wiring and lights?? Hows the hydraulic system?

Heres the lowdown.

It will need 7 tires. All new brakes depending on which way you wanna go. 2 axles, but if you can weld a spindle on thats all the problem is, I do have the 2 other axles but it wears tires on 1 side and the other was worse but same idea. Just needs an alignment or reweld the spindles if possible. It has crap stock lighting system but pretty sure all work. Wiring is perfect from 7 pin to brakes. Hydralics worked last I remember with lifts, needs pump maintaince though. Trailer has surface rust but so did mine and you saw how good that looks for 3 gallons. But newer dot tape is there and not necessary. No winch, no battery.

Heres the bad part maybe. Dovetail on passenger side about starts where tires are bends down lower about a few inches. Cant find any cracks and was getting worse over time. Might be simple fix might not. I can take pics if you want. Im guessing on price too. maybe higher maybe lower. Put some numbers together and I will get a hold of guy but I think now its basicallly trash to him as his dually is now gone. Nice little cash now might just say yes to anything possibly.

Overall suspension and everything works and does the job. My problem was the dovetail was getting lower overtime and on heavier loads it sometimes rubbed the deck on passenger side.

Oh, and the rims are all differernt, or some of them.

If the hydraulic system worked properly, it would be worth 2500 to me. by the time i get it back here, put 3 axles and tires and lights and paint and stiffen the rear end, ill have plenty into it.

Going to look at a cheapie Kaufman in Wisconsin tomorrow. We'll see how that pans out.

Whoa~! Its out of the trees... Excellent! Personally I think Cosgo's offer is a good one... I was thinking more like $2k even...

HA HA Ron :) Damn branch. Atleast it fell on the trailer and not on a car. You saw it in person so you know what it looks like. I'm gonna give the owner a ring tomorrow. I know he wanted way too much a year or so ago when we thought about buying it. He hasn't even seen the trailer in over a year...atleast. He will probably want way more for it than anyone is willing to pay. Looks like it's gonna be a sitting in my yard a little longer... rent free cause I'm so damn nice :) I will let everyone know what he says tomorrow.

Perhaps telling him the landlord is demanding that it go, or else he is going to make you start paying... I dunno $100 a month extra rent.

I really don't think that style of trailer is right for the way I do business. Add to it that this one is a bit of a basket case (missing axles and winches and such) and it makes me seem like a cheap bastard...

BTW, that was NOT an offer <goofy redneck grin here>

cosgo

Not my style either, but i can make anything work for a little bit.

Karl, ill be leaving around 9 am, heading to West Salem (La Crosse), then Stevens Point, and staying the night in the Dells, home Friday morning.

My 07 Kaufman wedge will be for sale for $5000... As soon as I find a 5-6 car hauler as a replacement.

The problem I am having is they are either sold, or the sellers won't call back....

I gotta get this bigger trailer before the end of the year or I'm going to be stacking snowbird cars to Florida at the beginning of Jan lol

Thanks guys, looking at a trailer this afternoon, and another on Saturday. If they don't work, I've mashed out a plan with SRM

I doubt it is going to hit the reserve. If it doesn't I won't sell it on there.

cosgo

I thought you wanted 12k? It's passed that already. Plus didn't this sale start after we talked about a lease?

I don't know.... I need a trailer, and I can't keep fooling around. Gotta get this done this week. The way I see it, if I don't, it's another $1000 at least, that I loose just this week.

smr500
11-07-2011, 01:04 PM
Yes, but while you were out shopping for other trailers for those 2 days I wanted to see what I can get for it. No worries. I don't care if I sell /lease or not. I was going to give a better deal to the forum members.
