believe it or not, that worn left tire is in the best shape on the trailer. it's a 12ply bias E range tire with no cracks... and no tread.
the rest of them are 20 year old radial van tires from our 84 dodge van... and quite cracked and barely hold air.
hey, the thing is built to trade on something else. not be a show stopper!
what do you all think it's worth? ok, with 4 new tires on there, and a good spare?

I bet its worth at least $1500-1700 with good (new) tires. I paid $300 for a little 1000lb capacity trailer that was 2 years old.....as a comparison.

IDK why they removed it. I doubt because of the price.

I don't know about your market but, It would be hard to get much for it unfinished here. Maybe $600-800 tops if it has decent axles, brakes and tires.

I have a 24K pintle hitch trailer that I need to cut the tongue off and weld up a goose neck. I'd get some use out of it towing it with the 1 ton dually but can't do so with the heavey weight of the pintle.
Trailer shop in town quoted me $1200 to do the conversion. I figure it will cost me almost half that in steel so I may just take it to 'em.
