[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 501914, member: 16767"] I welded four plates to the frame where the original crossmember was, and where the crooked rusty cross member was. I tacked a steel 2”x 2” angle in place. I cut the 1 7/8” hitch off the end of the tongue tube, and the T off the opposing end. The tongue tube is now a bare tube and it has a couple slight bends in it, at the end where it was welded to the hinge T. I plan on straightening the tube the best I can by eye, and then welding it to the trailer frame. I clamped the tongue tube to the trailer to see how it looked. Before I weld the tongue tube in place, I will take measurements to center it, and assure the axle is perpendicular to the centerline of the trailer, like mentioned above…I want it to track straight on the road. I think I can make this trailer work…after a lot of work. [/QUOTE]
