I do have a solution for you but the answer to your question is no, the Demco Hydraulic Drum 3,500 lbs - 10" Brake Assembly # DMSB24429M is just the brake assembly without the drum. Keep in mind that when selecting a brake assembly and hubs that you make sure they will have the same weight capacity that your axle has.

You will want to make sure that whichever brake assembly you choose that you get the Right Hand side as well, in this case it would be the Hydraulic Drum Brake part # DMSB24428M.

I have some hub assemblies that I recommend using. Keep in mind that you will need to measure the bolt pattern for your wheel. If you have the common 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern and you want to stay with the galvanized products, then I recommend part # 8-247-50UC3-EZ. If you are not sure what bolt pattern you have, check out the help article I attached that explains how to find your wheel bolt pattern. If you have one of the following less common 5 bolt patterns, you can use the following:

5 ON 4-3/4 - # AKHD-5475-35-K
5 ON 5 - # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K
5 ON 5-1/2 - # AKHD-555-35-EZ-K

Keep in mind, there are no galvanized options for these bolt patterns.

To properly install your brake assembly you will also need the Brake Mounting Bolt # 7-75, Lockwasher # 5-8, and the Mounting Nut # 6-17.

I have also linked a help article about hydraulic drum brakes and a demonstration video as well.
