    I am glad you were able to stop and not gotten hurt. It is the axle or rear cross member beam?
    If rear cross beam a good welding/fabrication shop can fix it's if axle. You should be able to get one from a local trailer shop.

    Could it be welded for a temporary fix until end of season?

    Went by the shop that will be doing the work and ordering the new axle , he said there axles do not come with new hubs ,they will be using mine and putting new bearings and races and so on , they use Lucas grease ,water resistant one . I also have Bearing Buddies on mine now.
