If you can not figure out what the weight restriciton is on it, PM me, i have access to a trailer that is rated for #8000. If you need it for a 1 shot. It is for sale right now, to. I believe he is looking for 900.00, but asking $1100.00. For $500.00 more you get the 8000 winch on it.

Central Ohio, how long is that from the border of Michigan?

It looks like those axles may be solid-mounted to the frame.

Also a question how many (if any) of those axles have brakes.

The condition of the tires and the wood in the deck would also be a concern.

If you had to buy new tires and decking, convert it to a suspended axle setup, and add brakes, you'd be spending more than what it would cost to buy a decent trailer with all those features already.
