Looking for a tie-down single axle disc brake with back- up solenoid direct replacement or simple modification. The trailer is a ranger trail 2009. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Mickey,
We definitely have an surge brake actuator that is going to work for you. I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what trailer, in my research I found that most 2009 Rangers have the TDE LP75 which makes sense because that is what I have on my 2004 Ranger Comanche.
I am showing that you have a 3 x 5 trailer tongue, but just in case there is the 3 x 4 as well:
- 3" x 5": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR
- 3" x 4": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR
Both do have the electric lockout, as there isn't an option for the old school type you were referencing.
What is your favorite lake you go out on? Any tournaments? I do some local tournaments here in Missouri at Lake of the Ozarks and Mark Twain Lake, nothing big but still fun. Always a good feeling walking away with a check =)
