[PSUBS-MAILIST] Extending tongue on trailer

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

Tim as Hank notes, my extension is square mechanical tubing.  I have a 5/8” rod that is threaded on both ends.  On end opposite the hitch, it is secured by bolts on both sides of welded tab.  On the inner square tubing that slides out I welded a square plate with a hole .  The rod extended through this had double nuts that prevent the extended tube from extending to far.
