Good evening everyone,
I am converting an old tagalong trailer to pull behind my deuce. I need a
servicable air over hydrolic brake actuator and safety chains from (maybe)
an old ammo trailer. I'm in Oklahoma. All ideas are welcome. A new actuator
was quoted for $600.00, too rich for my wallet!
Thanks,
Johnny
