Hey Eric, thanks for reaching out. We will undoubtedly have a replacement actuator for you, but I don't have a way to look up a Tie Down serial number to see exactly which model you have now, so I'll need a bit more information from you.

Basically, I'll need to know if your trailer has disc or drum brakes, and the number of axles. I'll also need to know if the current actuator drops down on top of the tongue, or if it installs on the end of the tongue. If you can tell me that, I'll be able to recommend a replacement.

For example, the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM62VR is a very popular replacement option. It works with disc brakes and drops down on top of a 3" wide trailer tongue. It has an electric lockout too so you can back up the trailer without locking up the brakes.

What kind of trailer do you have? If you wanted to email me over a picture of the current actuator, that would definitely help narrow down the options.
