I bought a neat heavy two wheel trailer at auction last year.I towed it thirty miles to my other farm at Katy,Texas with no problem.It sat for a year in tall grass but last Monday I decided that I could use it at my home place in the orchard.Hooked it up and headed for home,Fredericksburg,Texas which is 210 miles distant.Just about dusk and only six miles from home I heard a thump.I touched the brakes and both trailer wheels passed me.Sparks were flying cause I had been doing near 65 mph.Next morning I loaded up the wheelless trailer,but only ever found one wheel.The person who had the thing before me had loosely assembled the wheel to hub and so now I am searching for used HD eight bolt hubs and two 20 inch wheels to match.Also I would have had to change the wheels soon because the tires were 19.5 / 8, a size I have never seen before.Lesson learned ,check lugs on what ever I buy in future.The lug nuts being loose wallered out all of the stud holes and caused the wheels to cut grooves in the seating area of the hubs.
