I would print some pictures off the net, take them down to the local welding shop and ask them if they could make it for you. I know if I needed a set of these I could make them right here in the garage. And trust me I have a little one car garage that has never seen a car in it since I bought the place. There was one rainy day though I got half my wifes car in there but the quad was at a friends house. ;D

Try here, I know nothing more than their website says.  But they do sell a drop down wheel system.

Back to the Thread.... I have some old landscape trailers that I'm thinking of putting new drop axles on it and making a "job site shack" (Landscape company)

Thanks for doing the leg work for me!

I just don't know what I will do with it during the winter (Wink, Wink). It will be in the way at the shop....

I found out that for just the landing gears alone it would be 600.00.  im still going to see if I can't get em made locally cheaper.  and as for the my bosses wife thing I'm usually better at comebacks but You guys got me here.  I don't know how to turn that around, so enjoy this one

 Something like,....."I have to do his heavy lifting".... Oh well, He is your Boss and this is the internet. ;D

 Yeah, The frame and everything is just stock steel. Axels and suspension are the lion share of the cost.

If anyone is interested in putting these on their trailer, I would have no problem fabricating some for you guys. I have all the equipment to do the work, you would just need to pay for the supplies.
