Скачать или смотреть Utility Trailer Rebuild on an Iowa Farm - Bearings, Welding, Wiring & Tires

My utility trailer has hauled everything from farm supplies to firewood for years, and it finally reached the point where it needed a full rebuild. In this video, I walk through repairing and upgrading a hardworking utility trailer right here on an Iowa row crop farm.

What started as a simple trailer light issue turned into a much bigger project. I replace brittle wiring and install new LED trailer lights, then dig into worn wheel bearings, bushings, shackles, bolts, and leaf spring hangers. Along the way, I cut off old mounts using an angle grinder, Sawzall, and cutting torch, weld new hangers in place, and troubleshoot axle and tire clearance issues.

After discovering the original tires were rubbing the trailer frame, I order and install narrower tires, compare sizes, and talk through the tradeoffs. This is real, unscripted farm repair work — problem solving, mistakes, and all — exactly how it happens when you’re keeping equipment running on a small Iowa farm.

If you enjoy real-life farming, farm repairs, welding projects, and learning how equipment is maintained outside of a shop setting, this video is for you. Follow along for more day-to-day farm work, equipment repairs, and life on an Iowa row crop farm here at Gravel’s End Farms.
