Expert Reply:
It might be possible to add trailer brakes to your tow dolly but due to the age of it I can't give you the exact parts you'd need. You'd have to take your wheels and hubs off to check out and measure the spindle to determine if it would be possible to do this.
Once the wheels and hubs are off you will want to check your tow dolly to see if the brake mounting flanges are already welded on, otherwise you will need to have a mounting bracket welded on the axle by a qualified professional. This will look like a plate behind the spindle with a holes in it. See attached picture.
From there you will need to measure your spindle to determine what hub/drums could fit and then go from there.
If you check out the help article links I attached you'll see guides on how to add electric and disc brakes to a trailer.
