Replacement hubs for orig 78 trailer?

Hello,

Been searching, haven't found any info on replacement hubs for my correct craft trailer (78 SkiTique). It is a 1978, not sure what model. It is a 5 lug and I think it is 5x4 1/2. What is the correct way to measure? Better yet, anyone have a supplier and part number?

As always, thanks in advance,
Mike

Thanks Pat,

Follow-up question: studs vs lug bolts. the original has the bolts. My gut is to go with the hub with the studs. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, You may want to consider hubs with the built in lube system so then you wouldn't need to put bearing buddy's on them.

I just did my hubs on my '78 trailer. I think that it was a UHI 5-stud hub. The bearings were 1 1/16" and 1 3/8". That matches with the 1750 lbs hubs I see. The best thing to do is to pull the hub off and take it to a local shop that does trailers. Are you sure you need a new hub? Can't you just do the bearings?

When I replaced mine, I think they were original. They looked high quality and were marked Japan. Every replacement I found was marked China. There was no wear on the originals and I probably didn't need to change them but there were out so....

Thanks to everyone,

Here is the list of what I picked up, in case anyone else needs the info:

2 Dexter hubs - 8-248 MTA 8; 3.5K; 5x4.5 in.
2 Outside bearings - L44646
2 Inside bearings - l68149 (#84 spindles)
2 Grease seals - GS1719; 2.56 in. OD EZ Lube #10-19
2 Axle washers, tongue type - 1 in. ID
10 lug nuts - 1/2 in. cone shape (RG01060)

For just under $120, I have everything I need to swap out to a stud/lug nut set up. Except grease.

Thanks again for all the help.

Mike
