My boss had me go get this trailer from a field.
It had 6 flats, a bunch of rotting wood, mice, rats, and had been sitting since 1998 (18 years).
I was able to get most of the tires to hold air to get it down the street to the shop. (5/6 tires now hold air)
The issues it has are:
My co-wroker said he would help me rewire it as long as I weld some stuff for him.
My boss wants to use it to remove and sell some machines we have.
I got some free 2x12s (concrete forms) to use to replace the deck, but they look to be 1/2 thinner than current boards.
Im having issues knowing where to start as I am fairly new to trailers/heavy equipment.
I was planning on doing the following in this order:
Any info on getting me started with the axles would be great. (torque specs, how-to's ect)
Thanks
also here are some pictures....

The issues it has are:
- needs new deck
- hard to find tires
- rats ate the wiring
- hard to find any info on it (serial number, weight ect.)
- no paperwork (currently not in DMV, this is good and bad)
- possibly too big for my truck

I was planning on doing the following in this order:
- service drums/axles/brakes
- get a couple new tires and rims
- do the wiring (help from coworker)
- put on new deck
