I did not put either of my feet in my mouth. My assumption was understandable because Jon never declared that he used to be a Pro. And yes... TIG welders with spool guns are expensive. I know, because I own a 250 amp Miller set up.
The quality of welding is always questionable and even more so when aluminum is involved.
Not everyone on forums are "savvy buyers" and my questions gave those people something to think about. And don't bother pointing me to Jon's ad because it states very little about the trailer.
It does IMPLY that it will carry 3500 LBS but ..... we now know that the tires are inadequate. We also don't know if the trailer has brakes or not. We do know that it has a tongue and groove PINE floor which is a poor choice in my opinion. Pine is not considered to be a structural species of wood nor is it an OUTDOOR wood unless it is pressure treated.. Even then, it is used mostly for decks, fences and siding... not trailer floors.
You seem to forget that this is a discussion forum and that's exactly what I have been doing all along....discussing. I never once said that Jon's trailer was bad looking. In fact, I praised the appearance in my first post. However, I proceeded to ask questions about how it was constructed and that's fair game when someone comes on a forum for the express purpose of selling something.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
