Montgomery Wards Trailer???

[mkalski]

I have been storing a pretty beat up 82' MW trailer for a while now and am yet to be abled to contact the owner, or receive payment, so i've decided to restore it then sell.
Does anybody know where I can find replacement leaf springs for it?
They measure 1-3/4 17,15(A,B).

Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,...

I'd think Northern Tool, or Champion Trailer Parts, or even yer local Tractor Supply store should be able to fix ya right up...

Are they broken, or just saggin',..??
Eyes on both ends,..?? 1 end,..?? Slippers,..??

You're going to have trouble finding 17" springs. The shortest I could find was 20".

Well, to answer your question when I stood on the trailer to see if they were still good, on side collapsed...so theyre broken. Theyr double eye and by 17,15 I mean eye to center bolt, center bolt to eye. I have decided to remove the front and rear brackets and weld on some new ones to fit some smaller springs.

But i am still wondering if anyone has seen these trailers before, it seems like a properly built trailer wouldnt rust like that.
