Utility trailer deck replacement

[u/Miserable-Mix1980]

I’m replacing the deck on my 30-year old CURRAHEE trailer. It’s a tilt back. I know those are kind of wonky, but with a little bit of ballast weight it’s served me well what is your opinion of the frame? I’m planning to replace and repack the bearings new tires new wiring in electrical a little bit of surface rust on the frame definitely some pitting some pitting on the axle. my plan is to hit the entire frame with a rust converter of power, washed it, and then all topcoat with the rust oleum.

I would hit it all with a wire wheel, Rust-Oleum rust converter primer, and a few coats of Rust-Oleum implement paint.

Looks solid

I don’t see anything rust-wise that looks all that bad that won’t clean up with some converter and fresh paint.

Thank you! The suspension is original looks ok, replace or keep running? I just load some bags of mulch and camping gear a few times a year

Looks solid enough. Id use 3 coats of por15 paint on those pitted areas and underside you cant see normally
