Give Drinkwater a call they'll make sure you get everything you need in terms of fixing it up. We did an axle on one of our trailers last year and they took care of us.

You know John,

I have never been in the trailer mode myself but an old timer once told me there are 2 kinds of trailers.....new trailers and junk.

It really may be worth pricing out a new trailer. I know about 7 years ago my buddy got a new trailer for a 14' Garvey for about $400.

By the time you add up all the items your in need of for just a bit more you may have allot less frustration.

Just a thought.

I agree and will price out my options. I'm just glad it won't delay my season. Although, I haven't started it yet.
She was running good at the end of the season though.[

If you need to replace everything, get a new trailer, it will be the same $$.
Otherwise, non-brake trailers are pretty simple to work on with basic tools. A sawzall is key though.
