If you have a 3,500 lb AL-KO axle and the brakes are indeed 10 inches, you can use Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # AKHD-545-35-K for a standard spindle and # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for an E-Z lube spindle.

For brakes you can use etrailer.com Trailer Brake Assemblies, # AKEBRK-35L for left hand side and # AKEBRK-35R for right hand side or the self adjusting versions, # AKEBRK-35L-SA for left hand side and # 2AKEBRK-35R-SA for right hand side.

To confirm that you do have a 3,500 lb axle you would just need to check your bearings. A 3,500 axle is going to use inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649.

Rather than installing hydraulic drum brakes you should look at a Kodiak Disc Brake Kit #K2R35D for your tow dolly. That is the style the new Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly #DM9713093 uses as it would make for a much better setup that will be easier to…
