Today we're going to review part number 2520. This is a Redline bearing race. This race is designed to fit the outer bearing with the part number 2585. The bearing race is a part that is actually pressed into the hub assembly on your trailer, and it will allow the bearing to sit in there, and the rollers of the bearing will ride on the inside tapers of the bearing race. This item does have a part number which is stamped right here, 2520. Most critical part of this is the outside diameter because, since this is pressed into the hub, you want that outside diameter to be just correct, exactly right, so it is measured in thousandths of an inch.
To give you that measurement, I have a digital caliper here that we can use. Basically, if we put it on the outer diameter, it will show the outer diameter of 2.615. That should do it for our review on part number 2520. .

The serves you have given is out standing, couldn't any better.
I can only comment on one thing.. I was looking for the delivery by the (UPS)
as your Emails had suggested.. The items was sent by (USPS) this is no
problem. I thought UPS had screwed up like several weeks ago.
Now I don't have time to install them bearing right now as I'm cutting
fire wood, but as soon as I can get them installed I'll respond again.
Thanks George..
Best Regards..

George,
I ended up at etrailer after a fairly exhaustive search for all of the hard parts contained in my order. I found Timken bearings, but not all of them. I found SKF seals but they were 4 days out plus for delivery. The cost of USA made name brand bearings wasn't the issue for me, it was availability.
As you may know, the axle that takes those 3" OD inner bearings with such a small 1 1/2 spindle is an old, possibly very old Ag or boat trailer axle. They are meant for high load, but slow speed use. In comparison, the bearings you sent while appearing to be of good quality to the naked eye are also much smaller rollers indicating a higher speed bearing but of less maximum load capacity. None of this really matters when you have such a hard time finding the parts needed to complete the job in question. I simply state this for your information, but certainly, you were already aware if the differences in sizing and load capacity. It's doubtful that the trailer in question will EVER see enough load to make any difference in performance whatsoever, so please don't take my statement as a complaint.
As for the seals, they are the correct dimensions, and I did find your website helpful in double checking my cross reference work between brands. I'm also sure they will work just fine, but they do lack an innerspring to hold the tension of the inner lip seal against the spindle's seal area. Again, they will do the job, at least at first but I'd guess they won't last nearly as long and aren't a double lip seal design as the SKF, and National brands were. I'm not complaining one bit here, I promise. The cost factor differences were dramatic to say the least. The 2 inner bearings and 2 inner races made by Timken were equal to ALL 4 bearings and races, plus the seals from you guys.
Look, I realize that stocking such expensive and nearly obsolete parts made in the USA isn't a business model for anyone who wants to stay in business very long selling something that can be found down the street at nearly the same price. I understood what I was ordering before I ever started putting things into the cart on your website.
As a heavy equipment mechanic of 30 years experience, I promise your parts will get the best of treatment and a proper start to their life, hopefully, a long use life without issues. The bearings will be sonic cleaned before they are every packed with the best of grease choices. All the races and the seals will be installed with the proper driver to make sure they are square and seated correctly into the hub bore.
I assume if you use this review of mine for your website that you will not edit it in any way. What people using your site and customer service need to understand is that while I might see the differences I do not think I purchased ANY sub-par parts. Other customers need to also know that "In Stock" with you guys means "In Stock" and after hours of phone calls looking for those particular parts it was a very welcome thing to read on a website and even better when the order shipped On Time, Complete, and at what I consider to be a very reasonable cost. They would also need to know that your website is just chocked full of easy to find information. My example besides the seal cross reference information is the wiring diagrams. The color differences between RV trailers and Utility trailers makes you double check things to make sure you got it right and ALL that info is readily available on your site. Much easier to access than other companies.
In closing to what certainly is an overly detailed reply to your request for feedback, I'd just like to thank you, George. Thank you and your company for doing the EXACT thing you said you would and thank you for taking away a fair amount of frustration searching for parts. I will certainly use your company again and again if for nothing else, it's ease of use and promptness of service.
If you'd seriously like pictures I will be happy to try and supply them at a later date. For now, this old trailer has to get back to earning its way.
Shipping was very fast and I am very satisfied with the product.
Bearings look of high-quality and all part numbers were a match to the old bearings,
I am a very satisfied customer and will be ordering all my bearings from this company
Exact replacement.
etrailer had this hard to find bearing in stock. Delivery was as stated. My salesperson McCoy was helpful and knowledgeable. All the components were in one box ant individually wrapped, but fortunately no damage seen. Now the work putting everything back together begins.
Bearing and race were exact match. Good price and fast shipping!
Disappointed in the packaging! 4 bearings, 4 races & 2 grease seals just thrown loosely into a envelope mailer! They just banged around for a week in the hands of the shipper! How can you just throw these kind of parts loose without individually wrapping them in bubble wrap? Horrible service!
Bearing looks great but I thought this ring on the left was a "race" do you have a replacement for that?
perfect
Works fine!
Still holding up after one year.
Excellent follow up with customer service.
Items were exactly what I ordered.
The hub bearings, seals, races and pads arrived and installed easy!
Fits an M101A2 military trailer. Old bearings were slightly scored. Good insurance to replace them.
Excellent company ! I got the bearings and races I needed to fix my military trailer perfect and at a very fair price
The bearing and race replacements I ordered for my trailer have held up well a year later with 7K + miles on them.
I felt fortunate however that they were not damaged despite how they were shipped from etrailer. After all these are precision bearings and machined races.
