I might have an option for you but mobile home axles are a one-time only use part and there aren't any hub conversion kits available for them to use standard wheels/tires that I am aware of. If you need the trailer mobile again you'll have to replace the axles with modern ones that allow for standard wheels/tires. I have created a great video for you to assist with this and then you can use the attached selection or our axles and wheels/tires to setup the trailer for use again. The Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles part # e63GR is a great starting option for example with 95" hub face, 80" spring center, and 5,200 lb capacity.

Please note, the spring seats can be cut and rewelded on any of our standard axles.
