MT. CAT Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Hey guys, I dont know where to start. Bad weekend for me. Almost everything that could go wrong did. Worst part was leaving camp to take my toyhauler to Forest Lakes for the week to leave at a friends place. I did my pretrip prior to leaving camp. I found the driverside rear axle spring hanger had completed pulled off the frame. Leaving a 2'' x 1'' hole in the frame. So the trailer is now stuck in the forest. Now I know I can weld this back myself, but I am not a welder by trade. I also worry about going 65+ plus on the freeway with out a certified welder inspecting my work. We have welders here at work that have set me straight on how to fix this the right way. Heres my question. Does anyone in the Payson/Star Valley/Heber area a certified professional welder/ RV repair man looking for some work? 99% precent of the time I do my own maintenance. But I think this time I might seek professional help due to the fact I dont wanna injury anyone while on the road. If I cant find any help I will be back May 7 to fix this and then salvage my turkey hunt. Here's a link to what it looks like. This link is not my trailer, just an image I found on Google. Thanks for any help or assistance. Mike D http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5YlJXbGAtMo/SsYKVN9E...rQ/PA010004.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GameHauler Report post Posted April 27, 2010 I left a message for a union Iron worker I know if Victor does not work out. I am a Certified welder but don't have a portable. Where is the trailer? more that likely you could tow it slow. I have had several towed in here for same repair. Which hanger is it> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WinMag Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Just a thought.......I have busted a spring out in the woods on my5th wheel and just pulled the tire off that axle and drove it home slow. Would this be an option for you?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MT. CAT Report post Posted April 28, 2010 Yes I did think of that. Only problem is when the hanger broke it shifted the axle. So the passenger side tire will not roll true to the others. I did think of removing both tires, unloading the quad and everything else I can from the trailer to lighten the load, and drive to a repair shop on a single axle.
