Axle Upgrade for my Harbor Freight 1720 Utility Trailer
Question:
Do you have an axle upgrade for a Harbor Freight 1720 that doesn't require welding? I will be carrying nearly 1500 lbs. over long distances.

We can very likely get this worked out. Can you tell me how far it is from spring center to spring center? This is the distance from the middle of one spring to the middle of the other. We will also need the hub face to hub face measurement. This is the distance from where the wheel touches the axle to the same spot on the other side.
This will tell me if I have a stock replacement upgrade like the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs part # 20545I-ST-60-10 available or if we would need to special order one to your specifications.
The distance from spring bolt center to spring bolt center will also be needed so we can get the right springs.
