Question:
Hey I have a set of mobile home axles and was wondering what do I need to convert them to lug axles. It has 1.9 grease seal

Hey Qua, unfortunately since mobile home axles are considered one time use there is not going to be any hub conversion kits. Instead, your only real option is to replace the entire axle. To choose a replacement, you'd need to know the weight capacity, measure the distance from the hub face to hub face, and then the distance from the spring center to center.
If you can get this info back over to us, we'd be happy to pick out a replacement for you.
