I have a complete replacement option for you, but unfortunately we do not have any confirmed replacement parts for the coupler of your Wells Cargo Trailer. Instead I recommend going ahead and replacing the entire coupler with the Fulton 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler, 2-5/16" Ball, Low-Profile Latch, Primed Finish - 10,000 lbs # FE443050303. This coupler fits standard 50 degree A-frames which your trailer more than likely has, but I recommend measuring this first.

I have included a picture from a previous experience with a Wells Cargo Trailer and it appears to be the same kind of coupler that you have. The coupler in their picture appears to be welded on the Wells Cargo Trailer. If yours is the same then you would need to have your current coupler cut off and then have a qualified welder weld the # FE443050303 to the A-frame.
