The only one that can estimate that job for you would be your local welding shop or trailer manufacturer. Give them a call and make an appointment for you to bring the trailer in.
Show him the above pictures so that he has an idea of what you are talking about.
If I had to guesstimate........ I'd say 6-8 hours labor (if you do the painting). Add an hour for painting. Materials would be $100-$200.
Another option might be to trade your trailer + some cash with someone (like me) that has a swing hitch and doesn't need it.
