Location: Lancaster CA | Good Day, Need some advice, help or knowledge on this trailer. Just picked up this trailer and of course some things need to be fixed like the electrical, Light covers, seals ect... The body is actually in good shape, just been abused from the elements. Question i have is were can i find electrical schematics, seals, tiny parts, lenses, ect. for this trailer. Any recommendations on part venders dealing with the older trailers would be great. Also if anyone knows were i may find a parts schematic with part numbers for ordering that would be wonderful. Thank you all in advance.Ron |

Location: missouri | Look up Redneck trailer supply. They ship nationwide and have all the parts you will need to re-work your trailer. First. check out your floor!! It MAY look OK, but dig a couple of places with a screwdriver to check for wood rot. A few treated 2x6 boards are the best $$$$ you can spend. I wouldn't worry about cosmetics until everything is in good shape...good luck. |

Location: western PA | The second thing to check is the condition of the wheel bearings and brake assemblies. Both are readily available on line at reduced prices and free shipping.An on line search of "horse trailer parts" will result in many sources of typical wear items. When you start on the trailer's lighting, upgrading to LED installations, will result in fewer repairs and much more reliability in the long run. Almost every light style and colour is available with LED replacements. They are brighter, maintenance free, and use a fraction of the amps as an incandescent lamp. EBAY vendors have most of the items you will need. |

Thank you all in advance.Ron I get all my parts from Hitchweb. They have a lot of selection. Here is their website:http://www.hitchweb.com/category/TP/TRAILER-PARTSIn the past, when I needed a certain part and they didn't have it, they got it for me through the vendor so if you're looking for anything in particular that they don't carry they can probably get it in for you. |
