I loaded my riding mower onto my trailer last fall and headed down the road, less than a half a mile from my house I crossed some railroad tracks and heard a loud crash come from behind me. After pulling over to investigate the noise I saw that the front of my mower had fallen through the trailer. I knew that it was getting close to needing re-decked but didn't think it was that bad. After putting it off all winter I finally decided I needed to get it done. I began by tearing off the old boards and putting on a new light kit.
After the wood was off I sanded off the rust and repainted the frame..

The final step was placing the boards and screwing them to the trailer.
