Best thing can do is to have someone nearby that knows trailers take a look at it. Can't make it out from the photo.

Trunions is the wrong word, but the spring mounts might not be welded on, some were drilled and bolted, or riveted. Some were set up just like that. If that's the case, might be able to move the axles forward easily enough. Can't make the frame structure out. Most were lite duty for that application. That may not be the case here. Might take some bar stock and welding to get what you need, but at least the frame as it sits is a jig all to itself. I wouldn't give up on it, unless someone near you with trailer experience says "No way". Truth is, can't tell from the photo. Might be a great frame to start with. Can't tell from the photo.

One thing's for sure, if that's a bumper hitch, it's got to go. It won't handle either the tongue weight, nor the tow weight. You certainly don't want to lose that tractor going down the road, and you don't want to hurt anyone. Have someone look it over. Might be the greatest find in the world. Might not.
