Question on axles

You can also get an idea buy the axel construction. There are only a few manufactures and most trailer companies buy them from them. If you look at the standard axels you can problably match them pretty close.

Question on axles

I have a similar trailer and the trailer capacity is 6000 lbs. You should not be near that with the tractor. I would make sure you have proper tires. The tires need to be load rated not just car tires.

Question on axles

Load bearing trailer tires are important. You will find the car tires will last for a time and carry loads short distances but if you carry large weights long distances the temperature will build up and the tires will break down.

Question on axles

If a tire over heats the air pressure in the tire can increase contributing to the blow out. Nitrogen does not transfer the heat as easily. This is the same as filling a dual pane window with Argon or Nitrogen.
This does not overcome a poorly designed tire, not built to carry weight.
