Are There Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors for 5 x 8 Northern Tool Trailers
Updated 04/30/2021 | Published 04/28/2021 >
Question:
I have a 5 x 8 trailer from Northern Tool item #37552 that I would like to install BBs or similar product in. A rep from NT says the hub is 2.035. I believe you need a slightly larger bearing protector to ensure it will not come out. NT doesnt have proper size. Do you know for sure if the 2.047 would be the proper fit? It seems to be the next size larger. I have 2 other trailers that Ive installed slightly larger BBs in with good success. Thanks for your advice.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The best size match we have for a 2.035" hub bore is the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB2047 which measure 2.047". It's possible they will work but these trailer don't really use industry standard parts so there's a possibility it won't as well, test fit would be the only means to confirm.
