bluespanner Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 For building a small garden trailer, would i be best using EN1A, EN8 or EN16T for the axle? It will be 3/4inch diameter and will take a ride on mower type wheel. I assume that due to the nature of the wheel, (phosphor bronze bush) that a harder steel would be preferable? Sorry for the lack of LR content, but this is the kind of question that this forum is great for Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 You are of course going to use the trailer to move Land Rover parts around your garden for storage purposes, see it does have Land Rover content Answering your question I will leave to one of the well educated engineers on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B reg 90 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 What ever is the cheapest/have lying around. Make it a big enough diameter to suit the load and material strength. Your hardly going to do 10,000 mile round the garden, so why over do it? Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 That's it you see, the bore of the wheels I have is 3/4 inch so I'm limited in diameter. Proper lawn mower axles seem to be made of a hard steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
