Yes, few posts up.

I appreciate you trying tp help but those are not big enough for the brakes I have.

Get wider ones. Mine were smaller. It's only a 25k or 30k trailer.
I was able to use the drums, though one was pretty rough. Wanted to get them turned but no one does that anymore apparently.

With the magnet drums, I'd imagine easiest would be find a brake that runs bearing same ID as your spindle, or put a new spindle in.

Id need to flip my trailer and pull the walking beams. No one greased it in many years and there's a good 3" of play.
Tows ok aside from when I turn sharp. The tires rub the deck a bit.

50yrs ago 12.25x5.5 Miller only axle why? Update to air you're to heavy for a pickup. 32k trailer behind a gasser was garbage unsafe

To be clear, mine is 12.25x5.5 air brakes. My trailer must be heavier duty than most of the millers as it's rated for a 42,000 lb payload. I regularly haul two mini ex on it totaling around 21k lbs. I'll try to remember to take a picture of the data tag. 16.5k gawr. It's a 5th wheel trailer, not pintle. I've got an old school truck parts guy trying to find me shoes and or linings. I'll post the part numbers up if I find them.

If your shoes are good, we still have a local place that will reline them.

80s Chevy c60 366 gcwr was 34000lbs. Pulling a 8 ton hoe trailer & juice brakes,braking was always weak no emergency power to stop.

If I can find the linings, I'd do it myself. These have bolt on style linings. I got part of the number off one of the other linings but so far my internet searches and my parts guys have come up with nothing from the number. I don't want to but I think tearing it down then figuring it all out is what I'm going to have to do.

This is my miller tilt top 5th wheel trailer. Its a 1980 model ogth830. Its 36 ft overall. The deck tilting up lines up with the upper deck over the kingpin. I really like this trailer for hauling my excavators around town. Itll carry my vio35 and kx057 in the same load behind my international 4300.
