We started the day by placing the second axle under the frame we had built about 2 months earlier.
Having no idea where the we would have to position the axles we secured them to the frame with c-clamps so they could be easily adjusted.
We then went to get the Galloway from where it had been living since Portland '99.
The 16 HP Galloway is no match for DJ.
The Galloway is about to meet the trailer for the first time.
Dave guides the Galloway into position.
A little too much tongue weight
Dave jacks up the trailer in order to adjust the axles.
Once the axles are in place DJ begins to weld.
Once the inside welds are complete DJ adjusts the trailer to get the proper angle to weld the outside of the frame to the axle.
DJ welding the outside of the frame to the axle.
Same goes for the other side of the trailer
Dave touched up the burnt paint.
Finished welding and painting!
Home safe in the garage.
(3/4/00) Once Dave had a chance to hook up the breaks it was time for a
test drive.
