trailer question

[The Masons]

Dave:
I have a couple of these trailers.  One a utility trailer for hauling a lawn 
tractor and any other stuff I don't want in the box of my truck.  The other 
I modified to take a PWC -Yamaha Wave Runner.
As the other guys said go with the larger wheels 12" or 14" if you can get 
them.  Get a spare and be sure your have the proper lug nut wrench.  Check 
the bearings as I have found the manufacturers of these trailers are first 
cousins of Kawasaki and they use grease like it was gold dust.

Jim
