We do have an option for a weld-on coupler for drum brakes, but there is not a version of the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator 8605001 that is a weld-on option.

The closest that can be welded on is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Primed - 2" Bulldog Coupler - 7,000 lbs # DM8509202.

The Demco actuator that can be welded on is very similar but has a higher 7,000 lb towing/700 lb tongue weight capacity.

Unfortunately the Atwood 85736 cannot be replaced so you'd actually need an entirely new actuator. The closest replacement we have is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator #DM72VR. This actuator has a gross towing weight capacity of 7,000-lbs, a…
