Axle Repair on John-Boat Trailer !

I recently had an Axle crack,alowing the tire to rub against the trailer:

[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Trailer%20002_4.jpg[/img]

So I dragged it to the shop,cut the U Bolt`s and pulled out the Axle,and put it on the Bench to see how bad it was. After I cleaned the surface of it`s Galvenize coating to find all the rust area`s:

I find this ugly mess:sick:

Cracked in Three spot`s,on one end:

I`ve called all around,and the cheapest Replacement will be $130.00...:w00t:.......So I think I`ll use some Angle Iron I found around the shop to repair this one,...........i`ll take more Pic`s as I finish the repair`s that should hold up for a few more year`s;)
