Today were going to review part number 1779. This is the Redline Trailer wheel bearing. This is the outer bearing. These replacement bearings are a high-quality tapered roller bearing designed for high speed use. All bearings will have industry-standard number stamped on them regardless of the brand. For this one, if you look on the inner ring, its actually stamped right there 1779.
Now, the bearing you have when you get the number off of it, it could be a different number depending on the brand bearing you have. What you want to do is just give us that part number and well be able to cross reference it to the number we have to get you the correct-sized bearing. The other way is if you do not have the part number, you would have to give us the inner diameter measurement of this inner ring right here that fits over the spindle. To do that, you would need to use a digital caliper, which would read in thousandths of an inch because the measurement of that is given in thousandths of an inch, so a ruler or a tape measure would not work for that purpose. It has to be more precise.
If we take the internal or the inner dimension of this bearing, it would be 0.938 inches. Now, this bearing is made up of three parts. Basically, the inner ring which is the part that slides over the spindle on your axle, the bearings themselves -- the roller bearings, and the actual cage or roller retainer that holds the bearings in place. Now, the lubrication on a wheel bearing is usually with wheel bearing grease. In some instances, it could use oil.
Now, there is one other piece that is needed with this wheel bearing, and that would be the bearing race. The bearing race is the part that would install on the hub of your trailer, and it would allow the bearing to sit, and thats where the bearings would sit and rotate on the hub. Now, that bearing race is sold separately. For this wheel bearing, the part number you would need will be number 1729, and the critical measurement on the bearing race is the outer diameter of the bearing race. For that part number, the outer diameter would measure 2.240 on the bearing race.
That should do it for review on part number 1779.

High-quality, tapered roller bearing is designed for high-speed use. Replacement part uses industry-standard number.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!
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.
The box was almost torn at the tape joint. I realize you cant control what happens after you ship the item, yet someone could have wrapped and filled the box with something as simple as newspaper to fill the void and that would have prevented the issue all together. A smaller box would have also helped on the issue. Just trying to let you know. All the items were originally in a plastic bag it appeared and after slamming end to end and upside down. Lucky we didn’t loose or damage anything. It is disheartening to grab a box and all the stuff just rattling around and no attention paid whatsoever to packing detail.

I apologize for the state of your package. I am glad that nothing was missing or damaged.
I installed the outer wheel bearings I got from etrailer and everything fit just right. I am glad they had the parts in stock and the shipping rate was good. I just ordered the inner bearings now that I know that I need them also.
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.
Used on a 1950’s airstream axle. Good s tuff
Have had these bearings installed on the trailer for a year now and no issues so far.
My order came quicker than I expected. Have not yet installed the bearings but they look to be good quality. I am sure I will be ordering from etrailer again in the future.
I’m giving this item an average, I’m hoping the parts are fine but the packaging was terrible. I didn’t expect to get a package with eight bearing and four seals all just thrown in a bag. The bag was beat up, looks like it was torn open and re-taped.
Proper fit. Put them through 11 hours of use during the second day.
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..

After some explaining to the owner of the trailer that none of these bearings were intended for high speed highway miles at least not many hes taken it easy on this ancient trailer. So far, everything works very well, with no grease leaking past seals and all the bearings carrying their weight well.
