    Remove surge brakes from

    If you are still looking I may have something for you soon. I think I found what I have been looking for. The Demco 5-Position Adjustable Channel Bracket - Bolt On - 3" Channel Mount looks like a bolt on solution to getting rid of the actuator. I am also going to replace the whole brake setup...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    This week I mounted some regular trailer rims and tires on 1 of the trailer to see if that’s enough to get it to ride level. God those run flats are heavy. Also changed the plug over to 7 plug with some packard connectors so the military plug can be plugged back in in the future

    I actually wouldn’t mind switching over to all lunette rings but I would have to get one of these welded on to my other trailers. Now if I could get all my trailers to have the use the same connections with the same tongue height that would be the dream right there.

    Remove surge brakes from

    Remove surge brakes from

    I will look into this if it works for this trailer will have to try it on the m1101 too. I didn’t want to get rid of the brakes to get rid of the pintle I just want to get it so I could connect the trailer without a huge riser. This looks like it might help that and with smaller tires I might...

    Remove surge brakes from

    It should be possible to remove the hydraulic surge on the tongue but still have the parking brakes if I don’t remove the actual brakes right? Those levers don’t activate the hydraulics and the hydraulics shouldn’t need to work for the brakes to stay installed right

    Remove surge brakes from

    You are correct I did not think to check that honestly. The GVWR is 4200 lb which requires brakes. I was thinking about the M1101 which doesn’t require brakes because it’s under 4K lbs. I am planning to keep the axle and suspension. Just looking at smaller tires. Tag says empty weight is...

    Remove surge brakes from

    Just got a S/A trailer chassis at auction. I got it to use it for some light hauling. I would like to lower it get some standard trailer tires. I want to replace the pintle and get rid of the hydraulic surge brakes. I tried a search but couldn’t find anything on removing the surge brake...

    Just got my new trailer home

    Picked up a 2010 Schmitt m1101 at the govplanet auction. It actually came with all the hoops and a cover. The cover isn’t in great condition but it’s there and I wasn’t expecting one so that’s a plus.
