It has an open front end which provides better visibility when backing up to chutes and gives more room. A middle gate allows better balance of the load in the front and rear compartments and separation of large and small animals. The front gate enables un- loading the front compartment without having to dis- turb the rear compartment. While unloading the rear compartment a small sliding gate can be used. The rear gate as well as the middle gate can also be removed if wished Materials Used: 247 M4" x LA" x 118" Angle Iron 60" "x 3" x 3" Angle Iron 80" Yio!" x 16" 148" Angle Iron 33 14" Angle Iron | Set Straight Fenders 79 sq. ft. 16 gauge sheet metal 15 pes. 1” square tubing 20’ long 10" %" Steel Rod 13" 4" Steel Rod 22" 1" Black Pipe 8° 54" Black Pipe 1" Black Pipe 3 hex 1" Flat Iron 6 4x 14" Bolts and Nuts 2 gals.

The axles originally measured 77” from center to center on the spring-hangers, and were cut to 74” as specified on the prints. The axles were shortened by removing a 3” section from the center of each, fitting them with chill-rings, and tack- ing them together in an angle-iron jig to maintain align- ment, Wheel alignment was carefully checked with a tape before the final welding. The frame of the trailer was then cut, laid out, squared, and tacked together. The 4 longitudinal sections were 2” x4" x .095 rectangular tubing and the 2 end pieces were 4x4" x 250 square tubing. 12 spring hangers were made from 2" x %"" flat bar, measuring 8" in length overall, and 7” to the center of the 5” hole. This length allows 3” travel space for spr- ings and axels. The bottom end of each hanger was rounded off with a torch and ground smooth. The blueprints specified that the center of the spring-axel assembly will be 6 back from the actual center of the frame to insure proper balance when the trailer is loaded. The center pairs of hangers were welded to the frame at this mid-point and the front and back pairs were welded to align with spring mounting holes. "bolts were used to mount springs. The cross-supports were placed directly in front of the front hangers and directly behind the back hangers. The top supports, made from 2” x 4" x .095 tubing fit between the two inside longitudinal pieces and flush with the frame, The bottom supports made from 2” x 2” x .095 tubing, extend to the outside edge of the frame and tie into the spring hangers to support the whole struc- ture, One additional 2” x 2" x ,095 cross-support was welded under the frame to help support the ramps and also the rear wheels of the automobile. ‘The frame was then suspended and leveled on blocks for the construction of the tongue. The tongue was designed so that the distance from the front edge of the 4” x4” crossmember to the center of the ball would be 3 feet. Since a standard pick-up bed is about 6 feet wide, a diagonal measurement of slightly over 3 feet was needed for clearance, so that the truck could be turned in excess of 45°, The tongue was constructed from 4” x 5.4 standard channel with the two long sections welded to the under- side of the frame and the two short sections welded flush with the frame. The front of the tongue was cut and beveled to fit the forged steel V-type coupler purchased for the trailer. The hitch had a 2 inch ball and a 5,000 pound capacity. ' ’s"" deck plate was then sheared to 1 foot widths and notches for the spring hangars were flame-cut. The plate was then leveled, tacked, and welded to the rectangular, tubing with #7018 in a staggered intermittent sequence for minimum distortion A slight camber occured during welding of the underside and was corrected by flame-heating the top of thé curve and allowing contraction to correct the camber. The fenders, constructed of 14 gauge steel, were designed to be functional as well as attractive. The fender design was fairly complex, using triangula- tion to determine angles and requiring a right and left side. The back of each fender extends 4” below the frame to eliminate the need for mud flaps. Triangular gussets were attached front and back to reinforce the fenders vertically and also horizontally. The steel was sheared, notched, and the longitudinal bends were made on a cornice brake. Fabrication of a9” male die for the press brake was necessary to make the four lateral bends. The back piece was spot-welded to the fenders and micro-wire was used for finishing and to attach the fenders to the frame. The ramps were I’ x 5x Ye!" deck plate welded to 3” x 14" x Yo" angle iron, using the staggered intermittant sequence. The corners were rounded off for extra clearance and for good appearance. The ramp hanger assembly consists of a I foot section of 2" x 4" flat bar welded to 1" x 3”"x 44” plate, ground to 45" and welded to the back of the trailer, and a 11” sec- tion of 1%" x "angle iron welded to the underside of the ramps. The ramp carriers attached to the back cross-support, were I' x 5” round stock. Eye bolts and wing nuts were used to secure ramps to frame when travelling. ‘A ¥s" plate box was constructed to house rear light fix- tures. The rear lights are combination stop-brake and tail lights and the side lamps are for clearance, A license plate carrier was also fabricated from %«" plate and a license plate light installed A piece of 4" plate was cut and welded to the tongue to provide a base for the section of 3” pipe used to support, the winch. A winch was needed to help load cars that are not in running condition, and also to anchor automobiles in transit, A pulley was installed under the frame as a cable-guide, A 14 gauge box was constructed to house the battery that powers the electric break-away switch required by state law for vehicles more than 3,000 pounds.

The chasis is made of 4” cold form channel, A set of used mobile home axels with electric brakes were used. Total weight of the unit is 1465 pounds and can be easily moved about by one man, Careful loading of the trailer will maintain the weight ratio so that the automobile and trailer maintain a level attitude when loaded. A load of 6500 pounds has been hauled, using a 1972 Ford LTD. There was no noticeable load on the automobile, and stopping was no problem, due to the electric brakes on the trailer. Following is a step-by-step explanation Step 1 Cut two (2) pieces 4” cold from channel, 146" long Step 2 Cut two (2) pieces 4” cold from channel, 5’8"” long Step 3. Cut one (1) piece 4” channel, 10" long. Step 4 Cuteight (8) pieces 4” channel 2814" long and cope to fit, Step 5 Lay out all pieces, using framing square and rule, as shown in top view. Tack weld all points, taking care to maintain squareness, Measure diagonally across frame to check square of frame. Step 6 Find center of front and rear member and center punch Step 7 Frame will be easier to work on if placed on stands at this point. Notch 14’6" channel, as indicated. Stretch chalk line, across center line punch marks. Extend line well past form of frame, Step 8 Taking care to maintain line on center-bend notched channel iron until they touch center line. Using a piece of scrap angle iron, tack weld across channel irons to hold them in place. Step 9 Cut one (1) piece 4” channel iron 11" long. Trim 4 channel for close fit, as shown, Tack item #7 in place, = Step 10 Step I Step 12 Step 13 *Step 14 *Step 15 Step 16 Step 17 Step 18 Step 19 Step 20 Using 4"” E6010, or other suitable electrode, complete welding of frame, using caution to maintain all measurements. Cut all gussets, as shown, and weld into frame. Grind all welds on top sides of frame flush Cut 1'"x 1" x 4" angle iron supports, and in- stall, as shown, Grind top side of welds flush.

Tack weld in place. Install front end of box and tack into posi- tion Check box for correct measurement. When all measurements are correct, weld all corner joints of box and weld to frame, as shown This step requires fitting axles to frame. Determine length of axles by measuring dis- tance across frame, center to center. Cut axle and remove excess.
