On another post you commented on the "single" use of the nylon insert

I'm the OP and I would think a Harbor Freight trailer is even more
cheaply made than most of Home Depot stuff. *And on the box the
trailer came in, it says Made in China.

I hope my axle doesn't fall off!!

They also say no more than 55 MPH. *Can I take that to mean no more
than 60?

I used to use one of those "little red trailers" - the foldable style
of the type sold at HF, although mine came from K-Mart. Many of the
nuts on the trailer were nylocks, which made it pain to assemble, but
it held up for a long time.

I'd load it with 500 - 600 pounds stacked 6 feet high and towed it for
hours at (at least) 65 MPH on a regular basis. Never had an issue.

Kept the tires properly inflated and repacked the wheel bearings once
a year, typically before the spring race season.

I eventually got an enclosed trailer and sold the open one, with
homemade side walls, for $25 more than I bought it for, after 4 years
and thousands of miles.
