Going to have trailer brakes

37 chief · Feb 20, 2020

Last year toward the end of my mowing season, my brakes just wore out. No more parts are available, for my old axle. I picked up a 7000 lb axle today, hubs, and drums separate. I found the 6000lb and 7000lb axle spindles are the same. I have a 6 lug hub, and can use my same rims, with a 7k axle. I will replace the other axle as time permits. At least I will have one axle with brakes. Stan

did you try adjusting them?

I replaced an axle under my 14,000 trailer a few years ago when I noticed that somehow it got bent?????? It wasn't a tough job.

Stan,
Amazon link 6 lug hubs.
In Indiana any trailer over 3000# is required to have electric brakes.
Both axles are required to have brakes too and must have a battery back up with brake away switch. I'm surprised that California doesn't require brakes on both axles.

I would plan to do both at the same time and be done with it. Should not take much longer to do both at once than one at a time ? Flip the trailer over and up on blocks so it is easy to access.

The bands, the large magnet just all bad. Stan

Around here the police would rather hide behind a bush and catch speeders. The California Highway Patrol, is a different story. They are the ones who get serious about safety. They mostly patrol the freeways. I have a battery backup, which is required. Stan
