Question:
since i needed a small portable complete and self contained welding rig that
could be safely pulled by a quarter ton jeep i ended up building a new one
using all new equipment. ive done an extensive write up on the build
including 30 pictures (thumbnails on the main page to keep it dial up
friendly) and explanations for my reasons behind most everything i did
throughout the build. most of the write up could be used for building a
camping trailer also. going with the 31" tires gives the trailer awesome
ground clearance as youll see in the pictures. if ground clearance is an
issue i also suggest using a swing-away jack instead of the a coupler jack i
used.
the trailer is legal in north carolina as is, but ill add lights and fenders
before mondak.
Answer:
-My small Tractor Supply bought trailer has my Lincoln Welder and
Oxy-Acet and a Craftsman compressor and a B&S sprayer on it. A must have
for ranch work.
I need a vice on it too.
-bolt it to a piece of 2"x2" tubing and mount a receiver on the trailer. its
pretty handy being able to keep those things out of the weather, and just
slide them in the receiver when its time to use them.
-see "I welded a 2" receiver hitch to the back of the trailer frame. This
will allow me to pull an additional welding trailer if need be, and it also
allows me the flexibility of using hitch accessories such as the basket
pictured above for hauling additional tools and equipment. I mounted my
vice onto a piece of 2x2x.125 tubing that I'll keep in the large toolbox.
When I need a vice, I'll simply slide it into the receiver. I've done the
same thing with my bench grinder, and even a small portable welding table."
