welp got me a trailer

anyone wanna come help me cut some brush down so i can get it into the driveway
lol

anyway, its a bob cat brand trailer, registered for 10k lbs
81.5" between the fenders
16.5' of deck, 21' long
ramps

the fenders are quite beat so they need some fixing/replacing
thinking i might just rip them off and make some drive on fenders, if not is there anywhere that i could buy fenders? might be cheaper/less hassle then my trying to fix these

also the brake wiring is shot and if im replacing that im thinking ill just replace all of it
anyone sell wiring harnesses for trailers?

im also probably going to paint it and stain/seal the wood deck

here is a pic for the PO before the fenders were bent much

Here is a source for fenders, see if they have one that matches.

Tractor Supply also has some fenders.

Store-bought fenders are made to bend.

Weld up a set that you can drive bull-dozers across.

Those would be easy to build.

we use that exact trailer to haul our bobcat 430 trackhoe and it has been the best bumper pull trailer we have had so far(other then the rims being so soft). For the fenders i would go to my local bobcat dealer (they sold us ours) and just order the fenders from them. we get our trailer parts from ours.

P.S. im pretty sure thats a Towmaster Trailer which are sold at bobcat dealers
