Hello,
Our family is new to towing a horse trailer and could use some experienced advice. We purchages a pre 1992 Ifor 505. The trailer frame and floor are in excellent condition and the axle has some rust. However, it's the flange/plate at the ends that we arent sure how to gauge if they are good enough or need replacing. We were able to get all the bolts off quite easily but not sure if that is a plus at this stage. We had to tow it home about 60 miles and it felt fine towing it.
We do not intend on towing any horses in this trailer. It's going to be for our camping gear and a lightweigh cooking area. We have stripped anything horse out of it making it as light as possible.
I have attached 4 pictures. The first 2 are the front axle with an image of the front side of the flange and the backside of the same flange. The second 2 are of the rear axle front and back side of the flange.
Thank you all for any advice you can give us.
