I'm thinking it's original flooring. We were even given the inverter, not sure if I'll ever test that bad boy out.

Because the coupler is a weld-on A-frame style hydraulic surge coupler, I really don't want to replace it.</p>
<p>Master cylinder removed and the shock absorber removed from its mounts. The shock isn't in bad shape so I may re-use it unless I can find one that fits.

A bit closer view with the shock out of the way. I plan to remove the jack and clean everything up and give it a quick paint job.

The 1975 original master cylinder. Everything on it is seized up. Luckily I have found out that DICO makes a master cylinder (part #10271) that is a twin and should bolt right in. We'll see when it arrives.

    I found your site after looking for several days online and numerous useless visits to various trailer supply stores,I ‘m also in the process of rebuilding a old Atwood surge brake assembly Identical to the yours.
    I even contacted the Atwood factory for a parts schematic with no success.
    Will you be posting additional photos of your completed surge brake assembly?

    Yes, I’ll be posting more information and parts info as well. Feel free to email me if you want more information on anything. Right now I’m still in the dis-assembly process and ordering new parts.
