Grain Trailer is badly rusted and damaged around the king pin. The frame members above the king pin have rusted and collapsed causing more bending and cracking on the plate around the pin.

Afterwards the plate has been replaced as well as the frame members above the pin.

This is the third canoe trailer that we've built. This trailer is going to a Bible camp in Alberta. It has room to haul 7 canoes (3 on each side, one on the top) and plenty (almost 180 cubic feet) of room for the lifejackets, paddles and other stuff in the storage area.
