• Parts Needed to Convert Trailer to Surge Disc with Welded on Atwood Actuator and 3,500 lb Axles
  Since your current Atwood surge drum actuator is welded to your trailer frame what you'll need to do is take the trailer to a welder who can cut the welds and remove what you have now and in place install a weld on coupler designed for disc brakes like the part # DX63FR. Since the diameter of your brake drum is 10 inch that means you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle so for a disc brake kit to replace that you'd just need the # K2R35DKG.

• What Does "No Lockout" Mean?
  "No Lockout" means that this particular actuator # T47457007K does not have a built-in reverse lockout. Meaning that driving the trailer in reverse will actuate the brakes. You can add a reverse lockout to the actuator by adding a Reverse Lockout Solenoid # T4748800. Alternatively, you could also use free backing brakes such as part # AKFBBRK-35-D. The free backing design allows for backing up without engaging the trailer brakes.

• Is There a Brake System For a 3,500LB Axle Which Will Allow For 10 Wheels?
  You would have to convert to Disc Brakes # KOD87FR to fit a 10" wheel on your 3,500lb axle. This hub uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. These are Dacromet coated which is almost as good as a galvanized coating but is definitely better than just paint. Depending on our snowmobile trailer you would need either a surge style disc brake Actuator # T47457007K or a electric over hydraulic Actuator # CAR-HBA16-2.

• How to Bleed Brakes With Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator
  The Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T47457007K does not have an access hole to insert a screwdriver to bleed the master cylinder. You will have to use the old method with a 2x4 and the safety chains. While the trailer is disconnected from the vehicle, hook the trailer safety chains together to form a loop centered below the coupler. Place a sturdy board, like a 2x4, through the safety chain loop. The safety chain loop will help give you the leverage you need to collapse the actuator....

• Can I Use The Same Surge Actuator When Switching From Drum to Disc Brakes On Boat Trailer?
  Disc brakes require a higher pressure than drum brakes and will require you to use a Surge Actuator # T47457007K designed for disc brakes. You will also want to use a Reverse Lockout # T4748800 if you do not already have one on your trailer. This will prevent the brakes from activating when driving in reverse. Drum brakes had the option of free backing preventing them from activating in reverse which is not an option like on disc brakes. If you can tell me what brakes and axle your trailer...

• Parts Needed To Convert Titan Model 60 Drum Brake Actuator To Work On Disc Brakes

• Can A Hydraulic Drum Brake Actuator Be Used With Hydraulic Disc Brakes
  Hi Shane, If you're not wanting to switch from a 4-pole to a 7-way then you'll have to use a surge brake actuator in order to activate the brakes. Hydraulic drum brakes operate at 1,000psi and hydraulic disc brakes operate at 1,600psi so it's important that you pick the correct actuator otherwise your brakes will not work. You could potentially swap out the master cylinder to be compatible with disc brakes but you'll need to ensure it's compatible with your specific actuator. The manual...

• Is There an Actuator For 2 Inch Wide Channel/Frame
  Trailer surge brake actuators aren't something that are made for 2 inch channels/frames, I'm sorry to say. So what you would have to do is have spacers welded on your frame to widen it to use an actuator for a 3 inch tongue like the Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Disc # T47457007K or Drum # T43397007K. I know it's not the easiest solution in the world but for that size frame it's really the only available option.
