I have a single axle JJN trailer 5ft X 10 rated at 3500 Lbs that I bought a year ago last Dec. The traler is stored in a open barn out of the weather, has been used maybe 5 times and never in the winter. The problem is RUST. Rust on the main frame rail, side rails, on top of the fenders on the outside. I talked to the dealer I bought it from and he passed it off as just being a cheap trailer, they (JJN) uses poor paint. They didn't tell me this when I wrote the check for the trailer! They won't do a thing for me. I emailed JJN to see if they could do anything and they won't respond.
I have recently got a Farmall Cub tractor that I would like to haul to local parades, shows etc. It weighs aprox 1700 lbs I have thought about selling my current problem but I won't get much for it the way it looks and going to a larger dual axle trailer. I don't think it's going to happen... money issue.
I am thinking of stripping down the problem child trailer I have now and repainting it with POR-15. At least that paint will last. I am also thinking of having additional crossmember beams welded to the frame underneath just to feel better about trailer integrity. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
