Neighbor lost this torsion axle out from under his tandem enclosed trailer. The mounting bracket on the opposite side broke loose and this side ripped half of the bracket off the axle. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but what are the odds I could weld it back together without screwing up the rubber too bad? You can see the rubber torsion goodies in the hole. I would have to assume the axle stub and rubber are put in after all the welding is done?
The trailer isn't worth a whole lot. I think a new axle is out of the question. His plan is to buy a new trailer for most of his deliveries and use this for local stuff when he can load up both trailers the night before. The other option would be a used axle another neighbor has, but it is too wide. It would have to be cut in the middle and narrowed up. That is assuming the measurement from the mounting bracket to the hub face is the same.
