After a tour of home centers, old fashioned hardware stores, boat parts departments, etc I have not found a source for heavy duty hardware.
A little background, I have just torn down a really old speedboat trailer so that the only part remaining is the 2x2.5 inch tongue (about 10 foot long) and the 2x2 inch axle with wheels. The two pieces of square steel tubing fit together like a traditional cross with the short part of the cross being the axle. I need first of all a couple of heavy duty square U-bolts that I can use to strongly attach the axle to the center piece. I can only find very light duty U-bolts. Once I find the U-bolts I want to attach a couple of carpeted boards to the frame so that I can slide my 12' fishing boat onto the trailer and head off down the road. Is there a store that sells heavy duty bolts and would anyone have any ideas for attaching the boards? Brackets of some type, maybe? I have used this trailer in the past for hauling the boat but it sits too high and needed to be torn down to get the boat in and out of the water easier. It is a nice trailer and will save me a bundle if I can adapt it to this use. I know this is OT but this is where I hang out when on-line and you guys really have a lot of answers. This one is stumping me and every road is a dead end. Any ideas appreciated.

The TO-20 was relatively the same as the TE-20 except utilized some different casting materials and had a US-style electrical system. The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
