Northern Tool 5x8 extension

Postby wpage66 » Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:06 am

Finally committed to getting started by using a Northern Tool 5 x 8 trailer frame. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/ ... _200356494 I am going with a modified Cubby – Benroy design I am calling the Cub-Roy.

I will be doing some improvement to the frame by adding a center 3x3 to the tongue and adding angle iron where the springs mount to the frame. I am doing a 5x9.5 build so I am trying to finalize my decision on extending the frame either with steel or just building a wood frame extension on the rear. This will also move my axle slightly to the rear so it measures 40â€
