If the master cylinder from your brake actuator on your Cronkhite trailer has the numbers 23744 stamped on the side, then it probably uses a Titan model 10 or model 20 brake actuator.

To ensure that you select the correct replacement master cylinder assembly, we will need to know if your trailer has disc brakes or drum brakes. If your trailer has disc brakes, then you will need the replacement master cylinder assembly, # T4749501042, that you referenced. If your trailer has drum brakes, then you will want the replacement master cylinder assembly, # T2374600.

The master cylinders for both the disc and drum brake actuators have the number 23744 stamped on the side because they use the same casting. The internal components are different depending on if you have disc or drum brakes.
