Speaking of my mini trailer floor, I intend to put the plastic tray just like in the photo. I just need to do some edge cutting to ensure the plastic tray can sit on the floor. Feedback that I received from the old folk who intends to use this mini trailer saying that he will use it for...

Fabroman, :cheers2: hahaha.. I know you would say that. However, it is quite hard to deny something like this would happen (burn the paint) when we put something else out of the original plan. It looks ugly only that part which I welded the additional stand. Yeah.. I should have proper...

And ended with some painting work. This is the latest look. I will add some other necessary parts @ features after coming back from vacation next year.

I have also added two pieces of crossing bar (black color) to tie the tongue @ pull bar to the trailer body frame. I saw in internet that many trailer has that which I think no harm to put that. It can be used as a seat, or any other use.

Partially complete in engaged and free position.

Fit test the stand and check the length as well.

Attach the stand to the tongue @ pull bar.

Weld a hinge to the tongue @ pull bar.

Making the portable bendable / foldable stand.

There was a question arise later, how to park it at the levelled position? Or can this stuff be used (other alternative) without attaching it to the motorbike? Then I found a solution to it by making a bendable / foldable stand. This made me busy again last weekend.

My mini trailer after painted. How's the look in yellow?:cheers2: . I prefer yellow to ensure it is clearly seen in the evening, in case it needs to travel back from farm. At least this is the safety feature I put in my build.

I did some works to my mini trailer last weekend. I managed to paint the body frame although the weather is hardly to forecast sometime. When there is sunny time between the cloudy sky, I took the opportunity. I wrapped the suspension system, just want to have that part unpainted. Something...

Hi Zbuck, Thanks for visiting my work and comment. I intend to do some work this weekend. How much is the different in term of durability if I just paint it with the normal paint without the primer? I may need to do double layer using normal paint without the primer. FYI, I have experience...

Fabroman, How do you normally handle the phosphoric acid to remove the rust? Do you dip the tissue, rag or cloth and wipe it or use sprayer bottle and spray on the rust? I anticipate that phosphoric acid might be irritant if in contact with skin. We might need to wear some sort of rubber...

Thanks Fabroman. This is a good advice:thumbsup:. I just learned something new from you.

Hi Fabroman, I have the same thinking however these few days I started seeing the body frame has the rust here and there, and worrying the raining and wet season like this time would worsen it. I think it would be more difficult to paint if the body frame has lots of rusty spots here and...

I prepared my stuffs yesterday evening in hope that I could do the painting of my mini trailer however the weather did not permit me. Weather now year end is always windy and sometimes raining at our state:yawn:. These are the 2 environmental elements challenging the good quality of painting...

:thumbsup::thumbsup::cheers2:

Hi Machinist@large, Like your view:thumbsup:. Yes agree that building something like this needs to have the stability feature. I have limited tool to measure the exact spot to place or align the trailer axle underneath the trailer body frame, however I have used the best estimate from the...

Hi Sid, Even after have a complete build, it is still quite challenging to say whether it is balance or not after putting the load. Again like we both agree:thumbsup::cheers2:, this is a mini trailer which should be as simple as possible.
