Hi,
I bought a cheap $500 trailer for my wife and daughters horse, it is covered in rust a couple rust holes need fixing... needs new tounge jack... needs new dividers.... today I was looking at the brakes, all rusted need new shoes ect. so I thought I would buy the whole brake unit, here is where I am confused
the trialer has 10" brakes... with 5 lugs... the data plate says it is 9,900 pound trailer with 5,200 axle weight rating, and 6 on 5.5 lugs, clearly the drums have been changed, would the axle need to be changed to fit smaller drums on? I can read on the axle that it is a torflex I can not seem to find a model # ect. on it. trouble is I can not get close to the axle since the trailer is in my garage and I cannot jack it up,(I had to let air out tires to get it in).
I am thinking about dumping this trailer before I get in too deep.
Thanks
Chris
