Posted this in the Hauling forum, not sure where is best place.
Been needing/wanting a trailer for years, just had other needs first. It would be something that"s capable of hauling an old tractor on occasion - heaviest is probably 7000lbs +/-. Will also use trailer for misc hauling of supplies, etc.
Now, I have the opportunity through a project I am doing to get for free 3 axles and the tongue that will be coming off a trailer - like a mobile unit/home/job trailer. Looks like it weighs around 50,000lbs. Haven"t seen the axles yet.

So, anyone done this before? would it be worth it? What to watch for, etc.
