Livestock Trailer Remake with Pics

[weldingisfun]

I want to show off my new used livestock trailer and to thank those who helped me find it.
First of all, thank you to all who contributed to my thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/trailers-transportation/107637-cm-stocker-livestock-trailer.html.
Special thanks to PaulChristenson for pointing to the place where I actually found the trailer I wanted and bought. Incidentally, PaulChristenson is in Vermont and the trailer was and is in Texas. That is what makes TBN so great!
The trailer is a CM Stocker, 16 feet long by 6 feet wide. It was advertised as a 2001 model, however, the title showed it to be a 2002 model. The price was right, $2100. The same trailer, new, goes for $4350 up.
Overall, the trailer was in very good shape. It was used by the dealership as a loaner, which may explain the canary yellow color.
All I had to replace was one floorboard, the brake break-away system, and the trailer jack caster wheel. Everything else to bring the trailer up to my standard was done with paint and elbow grease. But, the elbow grease was the fun part.
Here are the before (left) and after (right) pics. You tell me was it a good buy or not?
Thanks again PaulChristenson.

It looks new and you did it for half the cost! You did well and a real nice job.

Nice job. How did you paint it? I would love to have that trailer and I especially like it since it is a bumper pull. They are hard to find in that size bumper pull in this area.

Chris-
Paint spray gun from HF and automotive paint from Car Quest. Keep looking and be patient. I looked for about two years. Try the Website PaulChristensen suggested. Horse Trailer World- Used trailers for sale, New trailers for sale, trailer classified ads, trailer manufacturer news and more.
