Hi Connie and listers, I rebuilt my M23 trailer summer before last. The stock Trailrite trailer needed new squarestock welded in, the winch support rebuilt, new coupler and master cylinder, brake lines, brakes, and paint. Sounds like a big project, but actually, the Trailrite is built from component pieces that were easily replaced. The brakes are drums, hydraulic, and the complete backing plates are available with shoes, wheel cylinders, springs, etc, all preloaded and bolt up. Very easy. For the M15 and M17, you will need to add the master cylinder/coupler, mine is an Atwood. I have it welded on. Then add the brake lines, also available as a kit. A local supply store, Pioneer Wheel, had everything I needed and in stock. Fellow M23er Theo also has refurbished his trailer in the same manner. PS, I used Rustoleum primer and paint, brush applied.
