I have an old garden tractor style trailer that is fairly big. The wheels are missing but the rest of the trailer is there.

the thing is that the axle is welded to the undercarriage and it used what looked like wheelbarrow tires/rims/bearings on it which are gone.

I have a pair of Honda 22x10x8 rear tires/wheels that I want to attach to it. What is the best way of attaching them to the trailer? I do have a frozen 85 200m rear axle assembly in my junk pile, should I use that?

i will try to post a picture of my trailer later. what i did was to weld 2 350X hubs to lawnmower deck spindles and weld the spindles to the trailer. the wheels fit great.

I planned on just using a junk 200s frame/half of one, with the rear end, and weld that the some other metal for the base of the trailer, meaning it'd use the same tires, same height, and I could theoretically keep the breaks.

The carrier on most 185 & 200 unbolt with 4 bolts. Drill two pieces of angle iron that will bolt to this carrier (one on each side) and work from there. I have built several like this. The only drawback to an atc carrier and axle is it is prone to turn over a little more than a trailer with hubs set out wider. I have one built fron a tecate carrier and 4" over axle with aluminum wheels that looks real cool.

My plan is the same... a 185/200 carrier is the easiest to work with in my opinion... it's steel, so you can weld on it, and it has bolt holes if you want to go that route. As a bonus, you can run any Honda hubs you want (except 350x and 250es/250sx), the splines are all the same from a 70 to a 200.

Okay, I'm taking the rear axle off the 200m carcass frame I have. I got the big 4 bolts out but I can't remove the chain parts or the brake parts because I have no idea how to take the hubs off.

I like that, no live axle to drag when turning.
