To get you a replacement axle compatible with your trailer, you can use a universal fit axle-less system like the Timbren # A35RS545E which comes ready to mount to your trailer frame and has the brakes, hubs, EZ-Lube spindles and suspension all integrated. You simply need to add a 2 inch square bar between the assemblies (not included) cut to the custom length needed. You simply need to know the capacity desired, so I've linked the page to all your options.

If you want to replace your current axle with a standard through axle then a utility trailer is similar to every other trailer and I will need some information to assist you. I need to know the hub face to hub face length and the measurement from spring seat to spring seat on center where the leaf springs attach. I've attached a photo to assist.

Then you will need the leaf springs, axle mounting kit, hub assemblies, and drum assemblies if you want brakes. I will also need the center to center measurement of your hangers to get you the correct leaf springs. I'm happy to assist once we have the dimensions for the hub face and spring seat to confirm the fit.
