The LM67048 is a pretty large bearing for a trailer that only weighs 400 pounds. So there isn't a hub that uses that bearing as both the inner and the outer. But if you are willing to remove the old spindles and have new ones welded on then I do have a solution for you.

First for the spindles: I recommend a BT8 spindle # TRU97FR for a square stub or # TRU94FR for a round stub. These spindles are usually found on 2,000 pound axles so they have plenty of capacity for your cement mixer trailer.

The BT8 spindles use L44643 bearings as the inner and outer. For hubs that use these bearings there are models with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and models with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I will recommend one of each and also wheels/tires for each.

For a 4 on 4 bolt pattern you can use hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. The bearings, races, seal, and lug nuts are included. I have linked a video of this hub for you.

For a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you can use # AKIHUB-545-2-1K. Bearings, races, seal, and lug nuts included with this one as well.

For tires and wheels that will fit the 4 on 4 bolt pattern I recommend # AM30540 for a 4.80-12 rated for 785 pounds at 60 psi.

And for a tire and wheel for the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern I recommend # AM30660 also for a 4.80-12 but it is rated for 990 pounds at 90 psi. I have linked videos of both tire and wheel combos for you. If you are not sure about this tire size let me know what size tires the mixer has now and I can make other recommendations.
