Roy you would be doing yourself a favor to have working brakes like you said even though it's a pain and dirty work to get after the problem.

Another thing to do us all a favor is make sure all your lights are working. High on my all time list of pet peeves is people who haul trailers with no working lights. Then drive like idiots to boot. Lawncare 'professionals' are the worst and they make a couple other of my top peeves. I digress :shakehead:

You could look at replacing it with a electric brake if your hydraulic lines are shot as well. Have you tried cleaning it out, bleeding the breaks? Might be pointless if the system is broken.

Firestone, do you have electric brakes on yours?

Oh man you're not the only one that feels that way. Lol. You ain't lying about lawn care business I see it every day. When I got my trailer I had a dim right taillight and when I would signal both tail lights would signal, I put LED's on it and had the same issue so I knew my harness had short somewhere so I ended up replacing the entire wiring and lights. Now they are perfect, I hate to worry about things so why not go through the hassle and fix it. It will be worth it in the end!

TN Diablo I thought is was a state law here that at a minimum each trailer is required to have at least one non-working rear lights.

I just redid all of my brakes on my trailer. I replaced everything in the tongue and actually made a video of how do it. It's not too difficult but it required me having to cut four holesaw holes to get to the four bolts that hold the master cylinder in. Now, I have the trailer that came with my boat in '97. Triple axle monster. Im available if you need any tips on getting it done. BTW. Do not go electric. The braking forces between electric and surge is apples to oranges. You have MUCH better brakes with a surge.

I would like to see that video to get an idea of what's involved.

Good deal. I will keep the surge brakes. Now just to get them to work. Lol
