see "I welded a 2" receiver hitch to the back of the trailer frame. This
will allow me to pull an additional welding trailer if need be, and it also
allows me the flexibility of using hitch accessories such as the basket
pictured above for hauling additional tools and equipment. I mounted my
vice onto a piece of 2x2x.125 tubing that I'll keep in the large toolbox.
When I need a vice, I'll simply slide it into the receiver. I've done the
same thing with my bench grinder, and even a small portable welding table."
:-)

> Nice job.


thanks! i hated to finish it up because i enjoyed the entire
process....figured it was time to wrap it up so i could actually make some
money with it though.

bolt it to a piece of 2"x2" tubing and mount a receiver on the trailer. its
pretty handy being able to keep those things out of the weather, and just
slide them in the receiver when its time to use them.

the tongue weight varies depending upon how much stuff i have in the front
tool box. in those pics there is about 100 pounds of tongue weight.
