You don't have to put left hand bolts back in. Any auto parts store should carry right hand bolts and shouldn't take over a hour to change them all with a press. Another thing to be concerned about is packing the wheel bearings and inspecting the brakes, especially if the trailer has been sitting a long time. New tires won't do any good if you lose a wheel. Can't help you with the tank.
Just thought it probably doesn't have studs pressed into the drum if it's the old style wheels. If so I would put a modern axle and tires under it. Not that much cost and you would get new brakes and wheel bearings.
I only seen land-liner and land-commander when I went to the Web site my vintage trailer. Land commander was 20' and 3100#.
Fair chance they are machine screws..
I had a 1981 20 ft TT which used Left handed BOLTs on the drivers side and RIGHT handed botls on the passenger side.
IE, no studs, the drum was essentially the nuts the lug bolts screwed into. If this is the case, the broken bolts will need drilled out and with some luck perhaps might be able to get an "easy out" to work IF they don't break the easy out. BUT, even IF you manage to get the broken bolt out then you are dealing with finding the left handed bolts.. They are like hens teeth now days.
Otherwise, OP would be far better off to see if modern standard drums will cross over and fit the axles..
Glad I no long have that 20ft TT..
