Hey Claude, the latch mechanism of the etrailer coupler part # CTA-400 is not adjustable but it's not like lighter duty couplers that are going to get loose over time to the point the coupler could let go of the ball. view full answer...
If you want to undo the adjustment to your latch you can use the High-Profile Latch Repair Kit for Bulldog Collar-Lok Trailer Couplers # BD024200. This includes the high-profile latch handle, spring, latch wire, latch pin, push nut and cotter pin. view full answer...
There is the potential for noise when using the Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3417. This is common for adjustable ball mounts since they have several moving parts. If there was no room for movement it would be too difficult to adjust. If you watch the review videos below you can hear the sound from that little bit of play when the ball mount is flipped over. Weight from the trailer will help reduce that unless you're on rough roads. I wouldn't expect it to be any more... view full answer...
I checked with Curt and they only have a 2-5/16 inch ball version of the QuickPin with the part # C84DR. S for a 2 inch ball a-frame coupler I really like the Demco coupler part # DM14793-52 which has the eZ Latch that I think is the easiest and least likely to get hard to operate over time like a lot of couplers do. view full answer...
The only Fulton coupler repair kits we carry are the # F670801 and # F640801 which are for much heavier duty couplers. Due to the age of your trailer you will most likely have to replace your coupler unless you can find the parts from a used coupler. I do see we have a few options depending on the width of the pole tongue on your trailer. We have a 2" # CT-2001-Z, 2-1/2" # CT-2002-Z or 3" # CT-2003-Z option. All of these are capable of bolting on to the tongue, have a 1-7/8" ball fitment... view full answer...
Hey Dave,
We offer hitch pin and coupler latch pin kits with part # e99039 that you could have keyed alike but they don't come with the a lock for the coupler itself. We do offer the BOLT Locks brand which keys to your vehicle key so that you only have to carry one key. I would just need to know the year/make/model of your vehicle to determine which coupler lock # BL7032491, coupler latch lock # BL7025285, and hitch pin lock # BL7018447 you'll need. view full answer...
Thanks for the photos, Rickey!
That is definitely an older style of gooseneck coupler and while I do have a solution for you to get your gooseneck trailer back in working order, we unfortunately don't have any repair latch kit for the style you have on your trailer.
What I recommend doing is having an experienced welder cut off your current coupler and weld on the 20K capacity Bulldog Coupler Repair Kit for 2-5/16" Ball # BD0287740300. This gives you a lockable coupler with a newer style... view full answer...
Hey Keith, yeah the A50 coupler isn't made anymore so you would need to go with an all new setup like the Dexter DX7.5L A-60XL part # DX43FR which can be welded in place of what you have now. view full answer...
Hi George,
We do indeed have the fold-away coupler hinge kit for a 3" x 3" tongue, with the correct part being the following:

Hey Chris!
We don't have the weld-on 21K straight coupler from Demco, but you can still use a bolt-on style like the part # DM16080-95 you were looking at and have that welded to your trailer instead of bolting it in place.
We used to have the (discontinued) Demco part DM12662-97 which was a weld-on equivalent to the Dexter Axle # T1755000 if you're wanting something like that instead. view full answer...
That's correct, Bill. After removing your old surge coupler and old brakes you will need to install the new brake assemblies with # 23-105 for the left hand side, and # 23-106 for the right side.
The magnets have 2 wire leads, one for ground, one for power. It doesn't matter which wire you use for which function, they are non-polarity specific. The two power wires will need to be run up the length of the frame and connected together. Ultimately they need to connect to the brake controller... view full answer...
Hey there Molly,
Really appreciate the previous purchases, and with your coupler height of 17 inches and hitch height of 8-1/2 inches, what you need is a ball mount that will get you as close as possible to an 8-1/2 inch rise - within 1/4 of an inch. For that we have a ball mount that gives you 8-3/4 inches of rise:
- Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC10
Not only is this the right size for you, the # AMSC10 is a cushioned ball mount, which is really nice as it reduces vibration... view full answer...
Thanks for the pictures of your actuator Corey, I can see you have an Atwood coupler which like you mentioned is no longer available so it would be time to replace it with something current. Since you would prefer a manual lockout actuator (don't blame you) I would go with the Dexter part # T63FR which does come with a lock out pin that will prevent the brakes from locking up in reverse like you want. view full answer...
Hey Kenneth, thanks for reaching out about the 3.5K Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02!
For brakes and a hub/drum kit you'll want the following:
- Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes - Parking Brake Ready # 23-112-113
- Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5.2K - 7K Axles # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K (you'll need 2 of these per axle)
Attached are some videos for you to check out! view full answer...
To tighten the brakes on trailer brake assemblies you want to unscrew the adjuster wheel if that makes sense Charles as that pushes the two shoes apart. So depending on which side the adjuster wheel is on between the two pieces of the adjuster it will vary which direction you would need to move the star. So you will want to look at the adjuster star wheel on the assembly and push it in the direction that will move it apart. In most cases it will be that you push it down to move the assemblies... view full answer...
Honestly Jeff, you are so close to the 50 degree frame that I don't feel like adjusting the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 will give you a noticeable difference. Obviously the decision is yours to try making the adjustment and it honestly is not going to hurt anything or require you to buy any replacement parts. And if you feel like the adjustment made it worse then you can easily move it back to the original position. The instructions for the hitch are listed below so... view full answer...
If you are absolutely sure you'd never be over the 12k number you listed a 12.5k actuator like the Demco part # DM8104311 would work great. I really like how easy to use the EZ latch couplers are of the Demco actuators.
If you wanted extra capacity just for a little peace of mind Rick going with the higher rated Demco EZ Latch actuator part # DM8164311 would be a great option too. There's really no downside to having more capacity than needed also. view full answer...
Yes, it will! The Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet for Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies item # BP01-225 works with 4,400 lbs Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies like item # K23-478-00 or item # K23-479-00. view full answer...
Thank you for the image of your setup Steve. I do not know what the manufacturer was thinking when they welded in the Demco Actuator on your boat trailer. With how it was installed there is no way for you to access that rear pin without drilling a hole through the frame. They should have installed either the Disc # DM8205222 or Drum # DM8202232 brake actuator which would sit on top of the A-Frame and allow you to access all components of the hitch. If you decide this is the best way to... view full answer...
