It was definitely a 3500lb axle, and that's what I replaced it with.
Good on ya.

Last time I borrowed something it was a buddies pressure washer.

Had an issue with mine and did not feel like dealing with it right then and there.

Just as I was finishing up the hose on my buddies split.

Was not my fault, nothing I did, it was "just time"

I went out and got him a new hose, better than what I was replacing.

Brought it back to him with both hoses and explained what happened.

He asked why I bothered to replace it, it clearly wasn't my fault.

Said cause my dad taught me you return things in the same or better shape than it was when you borrowed it.
