Equipment trailer blowouts; Fabrication, shop day & have I finally cured the tire blowouts?

7-17-21 Join me for a fabrication day in the shop on our Southern Illinois farm as I tackle (or at least I think I do..) the crazy 'loose' fenders on my equipment trailer and do some fabrication and welding to get them back to secure, which hopefully will cure my recent equipment trailer blowouts, that seem to be abnormally high lately. Last year I had another blowout and I took it to a trailer place in Kentucky and due to the covid lack of parts, they had to fabricate a new trailer axle instead of me waiting for several months to order a new one. Today we'll go in the shop and do some welding and caulking, (Yes caulking, you'll see why in this video), and change a very worn equipment trailer tire, grease the bearings and get things back in shape. But the real looming question is, what has been causing these blowouts? We'll investigate today, make some changes, and stay tuned in the future to see if I have finally solved this issue, or if one of my new axles is out of tune and really excessively wears the tires. Thanks for joining me, I hope to see you on some future videos on a land management projects, tractor or excavator projects or some other country living or land investing project! Thanks!
