Hey Brandon, We're also having a cold front move through. It's going to get down to the mid 70's. Nice repair on the tailgate. I purchased a hydraulic dump trailer awhile back and someone put something they dragged out of the salt water in the bed. Rusted out the floor, some of the cross members and froze up the dump hinges. I got that job to look forward to. I'm replacing all the metal with 12 gauge box and plate. Stay warm.

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Thats the way to do it! Then spray it with fluid film or some other rust proofing to make it last.

Inspired by your past video about rebuilding your old utility trailer, I rebuilt my 43 year old utility trailer which was very badly rusted. I was able to salvage about 1/2 of the trailer, and in that process I discovered this treatment that contains phosphoric acid which neutralizes rust. I won't mention the name, because it might be deemed as spam, but it starts with the letters 'Osp...'. It really seems to be effective. So far, after 6 months, there is no rust bleeding through the paint.

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Rust is horrible and it seems like one day everything is fine and the next it's disintegrating. Gotta love corrosive road salt. NOT! I hope you have a great week.

I just got that 81/2 inch Evo saw based on your previous video using it, and I love it!!!! It cuts like a hot knife through butter!

I hate to say it but I feel like it cuts way faster and smoother than my big 14" saw and for 149 bucks how can you go wrong! The thing is a beast and it does bevel cuts too!

@@BrandonLundI used it today to do some 45° cuts, and it it soooo precise! They are damn near perfect!!!!😁👍

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

I've actually had a conversation with an Evolution rep and told him they could charge double for some of their stuff but I'm glad they don't. That 149 saw is probably the hottest deal I've seen in a while. I'm surprised they are selling it so low. It's quite a saw

@jayyambrovich3740 4 месяца назад

Nice work. Brandon. Curious as to why you didn't weld out the bottom length of the piece you placed on the inside of the tube. Any additional weld along that side would have tied things together even more. This customer is lucky to have you to do the repairs on his equipment

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Thanks man! It left a gap so I ennded up welding that inside piece to the top piece then closing it all up along the edge.

@christianbos1691 4 месяца назад

Nice job Brandon, good welds will hold long and not a bad idea to put a peace of flat iron on the inside of the tube. Good repair and hope he let you repair the rest what has to be done. Stay safe and have a great weekend.

@olddawgdreaming5715 4 месяца назад

Quick fix till the weather breaks, he definitely needs more repairs and heavier metal for what he's using the trailer for. Good luck, stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Thanks Fred I appreciate it! I think he has a pretty heavy tractor that he loads up. I noticed while editing and after watching the final video that it looks like he has a crack on one of the supports at the back of the trialer right where the Gorilla lift is attached. I will have to let him know.

@nelsonglass6 3 месяца назад

I like that you used an inner plate for more strength… I would have drill a couple of hole or slot from the outer plate and weld them together to tie them together for more strength… nice quick work to get your customer back on the road

Good of you to fit that in for them before the storm. We need one of those Gorilla Lifts on our trailer.

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Thanks man! I installed this Gorilla Lift for him earlier in the ear. I had never heard of it until he contacted me. As someone who has used these types of trailers all my life, I was amazed at how effortless it is. You could actually use just one on most trailers then sell the other online. His gate is really heavy and this had no problem lifting it. I think one would work but he wanted them both installed. If you get one, you wont be dissapointed.

@Goldwing1500rider 4 месяца назад

Sure doesn’t take long to rust back there, I recalled you put the lift on. My golly whole gate rusted! Good patchwork though.

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Yah its brutal here, especially if you don't make a habit to rinse off your stuff regularly and do undercoating. The salt they use has definitely gotten stronger over the years.

@malachi- Месяц назад

Don't know about that one, but the plug-in-pins on my gate leaves too much room and the gate has, at least, a 1/2" clanking, especially when on bumpy/gravel roads, it literally has started to rip the weld apart on the gates plate, just like the one you're working on, but no rust at all... will a sand and quick stick weld lock it, hold, or will the current weld just collapse/melt away? The whole weld all the way around is not broke, just about half.

@BrandonLund Месяц назад

Once it starts cracking it will just continue to spread unless you grind out the crack and then weld right back over it

@malachi- Месяц назад

@@BrandonLund I'll give it a try, but probably going to drill a couple bolts through, too... and I can tell others, if that gate is flapping forward and backward a lot, make sure to add some washers, or something to secure it more firmly with the pins. Thanks for the follow up, much appreciated.

@NEOATHS 4 месяца назад

I have a question and it is NOT to be criticizing, with that area all that internal rusting and "fish plating" any particular reason why you would not use weld-thru primer? I was just wondering if you had a reason not to use it..

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

That's a great idea. After seeing the condition of the underlying metal, this became a temporary solution to a bigger problem. It will fail elsewhere before it fails here. That support needs to be replaced at some point and I made my customer aware. If it was better structurally, I would have used weld through primer as you suggested. Great observation. I will likely do an upcoming video about this topic based on your comment. Not many people are aware this product exists.

@davidbegor8709 4 месяца назад

Ah! How destructive these N.E. roads are on lite trailers. The pot holes alone can clean out your axel. Plus Rust, rust, and more rust under the mud! 😖

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

Exactly. Rust em out with the road salt then the pit holes in the springs finishes them off. It's brutal.

Hey great video as always. I brought the evolution stand based on your recommendation. It is very nice but I have a problem with the side support, although I tighten it as much as it can go, it still have some lateral movement, can you suggest some way to minimize this?

@BrandonLund 4 месяца назад

You are going to have some movement because its a slip fit. As long as the top of your roller is level with the top of your saw, you're all set.
