I just bought a 77x16 trailer and wanted to treat it. Someone mentioned your video on some forums and found it. My question is does it have to be used motor oil? I don't think it would be but I have a few generic bottles of oil but no used oil. Just wanted to make sure it didn't make a difference. Thanks for your video. Also some searching said the diesel is to add some color or darkness to the wood but you don't half to but can do a 50/50 mix

Used motor oil ! We treated every wood wagon box and floor on the farm the same way Tim !

We did the same thing to my 2 story home sub floorings when we built it in 1980. Dad said it was Termite control!! If the house ever catches fire it'll probably burn like a roman candle. 🤔

My grandpa use to follow the oil spraying trucks with his old truck and a six pack twice a year when they use to put down oil on the gravel road never had much rust on that old truck, best part was being with him and drinking beer, he thought me a lot in the 50s.

Now your thinking! I have a storage barn with the windows broken out and it has a plywood floor that I have put different kinds of used oil on over the years and it has yet to rot or fall through! Every time it rains that floor gets wet, but even after 30 years it is still holding up. I have several friends who use that same concoction in a backpack sprayer on their wooden horse pasture fences. Looks really good as it ages and weathers with moss build-up and such. Lots of good uses for burnt oil around the barnyard!

in 1980 my dad built a single axle farm trailer to pull behind his tractor, the only steel in it was the axle and the tongue, the rest was wood, he built it out of yellow locust and red oak, locust beams and oak flooring, he then soaked it in used motor oil and diesel mixture, that trailer is still being used to this day by a friend of mine i sold it to after my dad passed away, with all the original wood still as solid as the day it was built

Great video that’s a great idea on the motor oil. They use to do that to the wood floors in the cotton mills around here. Looks good and seals it too. Thanks for the video

We use deck boards for all our small trailers, we also use oil thinned down to apply to the underside with a sprayer. No rot, No rust ! Excellent video, thanks !

We use good old creosote mixed with whatever old engine oil we have around on our fences, every couple of years. The one we've done both sides of is still good and strong after 25 years. The other fence the neighbour planted Ivy, just let it run wild, and never put any treatment on, that started rotting away from their side over 5 years ago, and rather than get together to replace it, they just upped and moved out!

I have 5/4 decking boards on one of my HD Gooseneck trailers. Hauled 15,000 lb tractors 22 round rolls of hay. And lots of stuff on it. That flooring is going on 20 years old. Still good as new, and People laughed when I decked it with Pine decking boards. But then again it has a brace ever 12" on a I-beam that's 3X the size it needed.
