All that rain hopefully means full lakes and reservoirs in your AO! Nice job putting a front receiver on ! I was told once by a Minnesota native the front receiver is a MN invention!So the weather has been sunny and hot on the weekdays / raining and cold on the weekends for the last three weeks. So much for boating or working on the boat but I am still getting what I can done. First unplanned task of today was installing a new hitch on my SUV. Pushing a trailer forward into a tight spot is a lot easier than doing it in reverse. View attachment 218007

I might have missed it - did you get those rims from etrailer, or were those already with that trailer? I can't recall with the saga you've had with the boat, whether or not you bought the scrapped boat AND trailer, or if this is your old trailer.Today I sprayed some rust stop on the leaf springs and painted to the brake caliper and hubs on one side of the trailer. I also replaced the bearing buddies and grease (got to use my new tool to pack the bearings, it took a lot longer than doing it by hand but I feel it got everything). Finally i cleaned off all of the grease that slung onto the rims after I overfilled the old bearings and blew the seal. Not a great pic but there is not much to see. As usual it took a lot longer than expected but the second side should go a lot faster.
