How do CE Smith Fenders Mount as Replacements?

Question

Question:

Hello. I am in need of fenders. I have a galvanized trailer with 12-inch wheels. The old fenders were welded on and one fell off and I don't see a match. Can I bolt these on using brackets? If so what brackets? If not do you know of some options? I want the fender to be able to be stepped on. Thanks.

The CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fenders, # CE19502-2, are meant to be bolted on to your trailer's existing brackets. There are no stand-alone brackets which will work for fenders that have a side step and apply to 12 inch wheels, but you do have some options.

The Fulton Single Axle Trailer Fender, # F008549, has a top step and mounting slots which will allow you to use Mounting Brackets for Trailer Fender, # CE26061G-2 to install them.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…
