George, It was a 3-leaf spring. Only the longest one (with the mounting point and slipper) remains in one piece, and it's pretty well flattened out. I really think replacing the entire spring as a unit would be my best option. I do appreciate your offer too send me some used individual leafs...

Hey,Fitz11 - Any word on that shipping price? I sent you my shipping address via pm.

Agree about the equalizer, but again, budget constraints. He'll wait until it becomes an emergency before taking any action - and then the cheapest option will be chosen (like blocks). I'll PM you the address as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

Fitz11, That truly would be a bargain, but I only need one side. And, the owner pulled it today for the first time with the block in it - claims it doesn't need springs anyway, since it's hauling cargo and cargo doesn't need to be comfortable. Tried to tell him that it's just gonna break...

Fitz11, Checked my measurements just now and it looks like yours is a match. Mine's 1-15/16 wide. If yours isn't wider than 2", it should be ok. What's your price?

Here's a photo of my hardwood block temporary fix. We'll see how long it holds up.

Jeremy v, Thanks for noticing the loose bolt - there are several that need to be addressed.

Fitz11, That looks right! I left my end-to-end dimensions at the shop, but I think the overall length looks right. The measurements in my photo were bolt-to-bolt. I'll verify the length tomorrow. What do you want for it?

Jeremy v, You're right. The way it looked to me when I had it apart the other day was that there was a stud on the axel housing extending vertically thru the springs. Today I took it apart again (further this time) and discovered the rivet with a nut on the top. When I lowered the axel away from...

Fitz11, Here are a couple of photos showing the measurements of one of the undamaged spring packs. The Model Number I stated as a possibility earlier probably isn't correct - according to the model 90153 owner's manual, the width of the trailer is 40-1/2". According to my measurements on the...

Thanks, Farmall450. Easy to use, with your guidance. Here are some photos:

Hey, Fitz11 - I found what MAY be the correct Owners Manual for one of the small trailers (they're actually 1350 lb. capacity) and it appears to be a US General Mini-Trailer with 12" wheels, model 90153. Hope this helps. I'll still get those dimensions and send them.

Have photos of our "Beverly Hillbilly" trailer, but this forum wants a url address for the photo.....Unsure how that works. Thought maybe I could just copy and paste 'em. How does one post a photo or photos on this site?

Fitz11, That would be great! I'll get the dimensions and send some photos too. Thanks!

Fitz11, Regarding the model number of the trailer - I'm unsure. The VIN tag isn't correct (came from a different trailer which we sold long ago). In fact, this trailer is a mish-mosh of TWO HF trailers, cobbled together to make one tandem axel trailer. Been dragging it around for years, but it's...
