ABSTRACT:
A trailer with easy change axles is disclosed. Such trailer comprises a frame fabricated of tubular steel having parallel side rails and parallel front and rear rails with a transverse stabilizing rail extending from side rail to side rail adjacent to the rear rail. The frame also has a forwardly extending triangular coupling component extending forwardly from the front rail. Arcuate leaf springs extend downwardly from the frame and are coupled thereto on opposite sides of the stabilizing rail. A tubular rear axle support with a hollow rectangular configuration and opposite ends is secured at upper extents to lower extents of the leaf springs. The rear axle support has horizontal apertures extending therethrough adjacent to the opposite ends. A forwardly extending hitch member with a rearward end is secured to the front rail of the frame. A rearward region is secured to the forwardmost portion of the coupling component with a forward end with a vertical aperture extending therethrough. A pair of rear axles is fabricated in a hollow rectangular configuration each with a horizontal aperture extending therethrough adjacent to an interior end and with a wheel and tire rotatably mounted to an exterior end. Two L-shaped locking pins, one for each axle, are positioned through the apertures of the supports and the axles with small holes extending through the pins with associated cotter pins extending through the small holes securing the L-shaped pins in place.
