No, but there is a 22Ve sittin on that trailer. Sorry for the confusion whitlock, I posted my trailer plate as a referance to show what TD needed to look for.

My guess is that it would hang off the back a little and the tie down straps would look a little wierd...

Not to mention the lack of tongue weight. With that much a$$ behind the axle, that would be one squirrely ride

I did a disc brake conversion this past summer on my Dorsey trailer, the primary reason I did it was for ease of maintenance. My starboard brake cylinder failed so I figured it was a good time to do the conversion. I have not noticed any significant difference in the braking. The only bad thing about disc brakes is that if you have to pull the hub (e.g. to change bearings etc.) you have to remove the entire brake assembly, which is not easy to do if you are using the bolts with the red lock tight.

every silver lining has a cloud, or something like that

Try the blue Loctite the second time around. It should make things a little easier.
