Trailer brakes

[1997chevydriver]

Well it was a NO-GO with hauling the tractor today, I tried adjusting them more with little improvement. I took a tire off and one shoe was almost completly worn down, spring broken, rusted all to hell. So I brought the trailer back to its owner and mentioned the brakes needed to be overhauled. His next words were, and I quote "oh ya I know they are bad they have been out for a few years" The sad part is this trailer is an 12/2006. so in another words he ran it till they completly stopped working and never messed with them.

Time to deploy the chute haha

nope the owner of said tractor got ahold of family friend who said he would haul it.

Nice.. Although I might have tried the parachute idea... I know we used to use them during practice at soccer. That gets tough to run with

Well it was either

a) haul with no trailer brakes (not gonna happen)
b) try your chutes
c) rent a trailer for god only knows how much
d) find someone else to haul it
e) drive it ~20 miles and thru town to get it home (this one would have happened if other person couldn't haul it)
