Replacement Trailer Actuator Recommendation for a Tie Down 70 LP Actuator

Question

Question:

My question is the same as your previous inquiry concerning actuator replacement on a Ranger Trailer. His was a 2009. Mine is a 2008 with disc brakes. The old system used TDE 70 LP SYSTEM.

While we don't have an exact replacement for your Tie Down 70 LP brake actuator, something like the Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes # 099-175-00 would be a good replacement option.

This is a bolt-on actuator with the bolt holes 3" apart on center. The design of this actuator is for it to sit on top of the trailer tongue as opposed to inside the trailer tongue like your current model.

Hello Jeffrey, Thanks for writing in. Just as long as your current hubs are in good condition, you will be able to use them with electric brakes as well, as long as they are standard 7" brake drums with the correct 4-bolt mounting flange (which…

Hey Lexie, the closest thing we have is the #BA65FR. This fits cutouts that are 5-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" tall. The little bit of extra height on your cutout won't be a problem since the face is 5-1/2" tall and would cover the opening.…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
