Well, I unpacked the components of the new trailer full of confidence.  How hard could it be - it's just a box with a couple of wheels and a bar to connect to the mower.  There were 2 wheels and various lumps of metal ... and no instructions.  My confidence took a nosedive.

There was a packing slip which had a list of components with a hand-drawn exploded diagram which was of no help whatsoever, especially when components had names such as Fix Tow and Active Tow, and Stopper Pole.  Anyway, after a couple of false starts, I got it all together and only had two small rubber blocks left over.  They weren't on the diagram and had no apparent purpose so I think they must have been gifts with purchase.

Now the hard work starts.
