Helpful Expert Reply:

When replacing your Tie Down Model 125 actuator The Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout # T4750820 will be your best choice.

The Titan actuator has a weight capacity of 12,500 pounds just like your Tie Down Model, it also has a electric lockout solenoid that allows you to back up without actuating the trailer brakes.

The system has a sturdy, durable steel construction that resists bending in jackknife situations. It has a zinc plating that is corrosion resistant.
