• Replacement Brake Assemblies and Hubs for 1960 Airstream Trailer
  It sounds like your assemblies are not the typical assemblies and will need to be replaced. For your brake assemblies, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7-SA along with mounting hardware # BRKH12. If you don't have the brake flange compatible, you can use the Brake Mounting Flange for 3" Round Axle # 4-44-1 which needs to be precisely welded in place. Then for your drum brake assemblies to match, I need some more information. I will need either the...

• Where Should Trailer Brake Assemblies be Grounded?
  Hey Larry, either way is going to work fine so whichever is easier for you will be fine. If it was me though I would ground the magnets to the frame near the axle just because that's simpler and requires less wire. It means less wire ran on the trailer which means less chance for something to get damaged etc.

  For a replacement seal for a 5970 you'd need the part # 29031. We don't have a dust cap that fits a 2.25 inch hub bore.

• Finding a Hub for a Very Old Trailer with 6 Lug Bolt Pattern # 1779 inner and # 2788 Outer Bearings
  I did some research and found that the 2,600 lb Hub, # 22834, takes the # 1779 outer bearing and # 2788 inner bearing and would use the # 29031 grease seal. This hub has a 6 bolt on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. This sounds like the hub you have, and replacement parts are available. Along with the parts mentioned above you may need grease caps, # RG04-060, and races, # 1729 and # 2729, to complete parts needed to repair one of your existing hubs. When doing my research I found that no other...

• Grease Seal to Replace Part Number 174253tb
  If the inner diameter is 1.719 inches and the outer diameter is 2.565 the # RG06-050 would be the closest matching grease seal we offer. You will need a digital or dial caliper for this measurement. The grease seal number you referenced doesn't cross reference with anything we offer but based on the bearing numbers a different customer came to us with that said they also had the same seal number you would need the # RG06-050. You would still need to measure to verify this. Also, if...

• Availability of Grease Seal Ring for Seal on 22834 Trailer Hub
  Based on my research the Redline Grease Seal # 29031 that you ordered is the correct seal for your 22834 hub (which is what I assume you have based on the # 2788 inner bearing and # 1779 outer bearing that you also purchased). We do not have a ring available by itself for this seal but the seal should fit the spindles on your trailer perfectly without one. Just to make sure you can also measure the spindle where the grease seal rides with a digital caliper. If you get a measurement of...

• Availability of Trailer Hub Using Timken # 2788 Inner Bearing and Timken # 1779 Outer Bearing
  I did find a reference to a trailer hub # 22834 that used a # 2788 inner and a # 1779 outer bearing, however I'm sorry to say the hub is obsolete and is no longer being manufactured. The hub has a 6 lug on 5-1/2 inch bolt circle. Although the hub isn't available, we do offer the bearings, the races # 1729 and # 2729 and the grease seal # 29031. If your hub(s) are damaged beyond repair, you'd need to replace the spindles or the entire axle. I can check on the availability of a replacement...

• Old Trailer has 2 Different Sized Spindles and Obsolete Bearing and Seal Numbers
  That looks like a mobile home axle. It is possible that both axles are mobile home axles. But the problem with that is they are meant for one time use only. People get them because after they are used they are cheap. It is possible that this is also why the axles have two different sets of bearings. It is also extremely difficult to find parts for mobile home axles. The 2788 and 1779 bearings are associated with hub 22834 which is not available. The seal sounds like a # 29031 which has...

• Replacement Seal For National Grease Seal # 5970
  Based on what I can find it shows the National seal 5970 is the same as the Timken 203034 which I see has an outer diameter of 3" and an inner diameter of 1.875". The only seal we have which meets these dimensions is the Seal # 29031. You can verify this will match your seal off of the measurements as I could not find a single resource which specifically showed the dimensions for the National 5970 seal.

• Replacement Parts for Oil Bath Hub with Seal 203034X and Bearing 1779
  That certainly does appear to be an oil bath hub. The seal number is associated with 1956 to 1959 Studebakers as far as I could find. It looks like the dimensions of the seal are 1.875 inches inner diameter and 3 inches outer diameter. We have one seal that has the dimensions, # 29031, but it is a grease seal, not an oil seal. The bearing # 1779 is associated with race # 1729. They fit hub 22834 which from what I could find is not an oil bath hub. The inner bearing that is associated with...

• Possible Replacement for Trostel 300-156-6 Seal
  So after quite a bit of research it seems that the Trostel 300-156-6 seals you mentioned are quite old and have not been around for some time. The best I could find was that they are 3.00" in outer diameter, and I did manage to find a customer who left a review saying a good replacement was the Grease Seal # 29031. You can see that in the accompanying cut out I added, and though I can't verify that for certain, you may be able to if it is possible to measure the spindle where the grease...

• Need a Grease Seal to Replace a Transcom Grease Seal 171255
  based on the number you have provided, you have a Transcom grease seal. We have a TruRyde brand that will fit. For a pair, you would need # RG06-050. Or for one double lip seal, # 58846. To be sure, you can check the measurements of your seal. The measurements will have to be as accurate as possible so I recommend using a set of dial calipers. The inner diameter of the TruRyde seal is 1.719 inches. The outer diameter is 2.565 inches.

• Availability of Replacement Bearings, Races, and Seal # 1779, # 1729, # 2788, # 2729, # 29031
  We do have the bearings, races, and a grease seal that seems to match. For the bearings and races you just need to enter the numbers you have given me and they will come up but they are not available in a kit. # 1779 (outer bearing) # 1729 (race for outer bearing) # 2788 (inner bearing) # 2729 (race for inner bearing) I did a cross reference check for a Victor Seal # 49739 and found that it is 1.875 inches inner diameter, 3 inches outer diameter, and is 7/16 inches thick. I would check...

• Replacement Trailer Axle Seal Recommendation with Outer Diameter 3.367 inches
  For a replacement grease seal for yours that has an outer diameter of 3.367 the closest seal we offer that will work is the part # 5606 that has an outer diameter of 3.365 inches.

• Grease Seal Availability for Trailer Hub with Outer Diameter of 3.0 inches
  Closest seal we have is the part # 29031 which has an outer diameter of 3.0 inches and inner diameter of 1.875 inches. What I would recommend you do is measure the spindle diameter where the seal rides. That's going to be a more consistent and easy measurement to get exact. If the diameter is right at 1.875 then the seal would work. If the diameter is 1.75 then the seal would be too big.

• Can a Double-Lip Trailer Hub Seal be Used in Place of a Single Lip Seal
  Yes. You can use double lip seals in place of single lip seals on your trailer hubs. The double-lip seals are much better at preventing grease leaks and seal blow outs. I have included a link to all of the double lip seals we carry.

• What Bearing Seal Do I Need For An Older Trailer Made In The 1960s
  Those are great questions. Since the trailer is so old, this will be a tricky one, as most or the parts used back then are now obsolete. I am happy to try to provide as much info as I can. The # 2788 and # 1779 bearings are typically used on a 5,200 lb axle. Both of there bearing sizes are fairly uncommon these days. We do not even carry hubs that use these bearing sizes. They would generally be used with the seal # 29031, but we would certainly want you to measure the current seal to...

• Bearing Kit Recommendation for a 1993 Eagle Trailer
  I can help with the bearings, and most likely I have a seal that would work for you, but I cannot find any information on the 221333 seal that you referenced. The Bearing kit # BK3-100 includes both of the bearings you need plus a 10-36 seal. This seal has an inner diameter of 2.225 and an outer diameter of 3.376. You might take your current seal and compare its dimensions to these and see if it would work for you.

• How to Pick Out Correct Replacement Seal for a Trailer Axle
  In order to pick out a grease seal to match the hubs of your trailer axle you are going to need to remove the hub from your spindle and using a dial caliper or micrometer get the exact diameter of the spindle where the seal rides and then get the exact inner diameter of the hub bore where your seal fits in the hub. The spindle measurement will be the inner diameter needed for your replacement seal, the inner diameter of the hub will be the outer diameter of the seal you need. Once you...

• Replacement Brake Assembly, Bearings, Races, and Seal for Old Trailer Axle
  Based on the bolt pattern and the brake flange on your axle, you will want to start with the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. Then for your hub drums I recommend reusing your current hubs as we don't have a suitable replacement and using bearings # 2788 and # 1779. Then for a seal I believe # 29031 is the correct fit. If you want to replace the races inside the hub use # 2729 and # 1729 along with the installation...

• Does Redline Trailer Bearing Grease Seal # 29031 Include a Spring
  The Redline Trailer Bearing Grease Seal # 29031 that you referenced does not include a spring. This single-lip seal is for use in the inside end of a trailer hub (the side closest to the axle and furthest from the spindle). I think the part with a spring that you are referring to is a special type of outer grease cap (not an inner grease seal) called a Bearing Buddy. These mount on the outside end of the trailer hub/spindle in place of a standard closed grease cap. They hold a supply...

• What Is the Width of Grease Seal 29031
  The width and height are the same thing in regards to a grease seal, just worded differently, so the .508 height is the width (or thickness if you want to call it that) of the Grease Seal # 29031. This seal will work for you though, as the important factors are the inner and outer diameter. So because your seal has the exact same 3.000 inch inner diameter and 1.875 outer diameter you will be able to use the Grease Seal # 29031.
