One of the early steps was mounting the kick wheel. It is VERY heavy! It is much easier to position early in the build with no obstructions. It is already mounted on a nice smooth bearing. The bearing is attached to a 2x6 length of lumber.
The wheel was positioned over a length of metal framing of thhe main trailer. Between the length of 2x6, the deck, and the frame underneath the wheel is more than adequately supported.
My greater concerns is the flexing of the deck. I may need to address that later but that depends on what I discover as the build continues.
This photo shows the side wall step but it also illustrates where the kick wheel was positioned.
This photo is less cluttered than later in the build so you can see how heavy this sucker is! The wheel is essesentially one big disk of concrete. Wendy didn't mess around when she wanted a kick wheel that could keep some momentum. :)
