Hi guys
I just started my frame today for my 5x10x5 high Benroy. I plow snow and have had to put off building for the past month because of all the @#^%$@&* Snow! We had a break today so I started. The frame will be finished tomorrow. Here are som picts of what I have so far. I know that it looks like i'm building a tank frame. This is light duity for me. I'm use to building something that will carry a backhoe. :D

I couldnt get a good answer about axle placment.

I decided to to make my axle adjustable. Thats why the cross suport near the axle was left out and i just added some horizontal supports for the floor. The axle will have 6" of adjustment. I'm going for somewhere between 50" to 44" from the rear of the frame. That way i can place the axle where it needs to be after the tear is built and loaded.
