Trailer brakes
I have a 3 axle flat bed and I can't seem to get the brakes to work. All new wiring and magnets, the shoes are still like new. Im getting 13.5v at the brakes with a good ground and even turned up to 10 on the controller it barely does anything. Any ideas? Ps the truck is a 2014 f350 and we have 3 trailers and this is the only one we have problems with

Any chance you got the right and left sides swapped? They are designed to pull with the wheel rotation to actuate the shoes. Only other thing I can think of is the magnets are to far away from the surface of the brake drum.

How rusty was the magnet surface on the drums?
You might get your 13.5v But that means nothing if the amp draw is not right. You can check the resistance and the math will tell you the amps. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-testing-...-function.aspx

What Sam said with the shoes^ Also I'm not sure how the fords are, but my 14' Ram has different settings in the menu like light, medium, and heavy trailer as well as being able to set it from 1 to 10.

What controller are you using? I have a good friend that owns a trailer shop and I could ask him. If your PM you phone # I can call you about specifics. I work there once in a while but go there often.

Make sure the trailer is grounded good. Do you ground to the frame of the trailer? Is the ground on the truck side good? I always check trailers with it completely disconnected from the truck, minus the plug. That way, you know if you have a ground issue. If it's hooked up, it could ground through the ball, and you don't want that.

Pull the drums. Put full voltage (on the blue wire) and check the magnets. If you can't stick a screw driver to them there is either a connection problem or bad magnet. Check for power with a test light.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
