Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Replacement Race for 1779 Bearing

Today we're gonna take a look at the replacement bearing race for the number 1779 bearing. Now the race will provide the smooth surface for the bearing to roll on inside of your trailer hub. Typically if you have to get new bearings it is a good idea to replace the races along with them. The races are actually pressed into the trailer hubs themselves. Now the replacement part will use the industry standard number. In this case, this race would be part number 1729 and again the matching bearing that goes in this is the 1779 which we do sell separately on our website. The critical measurement on this bearing race is the outer diameter which is measured edge to edge just like that.

What we're gonna do because the measurement is usually in thousandth, is we're gonna use a digital caliper. I'm gonna zoom in here so you'll be able to see the measurement. We'll go ahead and get that and then you can see your outer diameter on this bearing race is gonna be right at 2.240. That should do it for the review on the replacement bearing race for the number 1779 bearing.

Still rolling. No complaints



by:

Everything came as expected and on time. I was a bit surprised that, since the order was two angualar bearings, that the bearings weren't wrapped or protected from moisture in any way. In this case, it didn't seem to be an issue.

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.

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.



by:

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



by:

This was the only business that I could find the proper parts for my axles. Service and delivery was prompt and would recommend this business for anyone’s trailer parts needs!



by:

etrailer had this hard to find bearing race 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.



by:

I replaced all the bearings and races on my dual axle trailer. The parts were a perfect fit, and trailer runs like new.



by:

Hard to find seal for an old trailer. Bearings, races, seals, and install kit arrived today. 45 minutes I was taking the trailer off the jacks. Ready to roll. Thank all the crew involved. They know their jobs.



by:

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.



by:

Fast shipping and accurate parts.



by:

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!

Hey Brad. That is not how a package should be arriving to you. I want to make sure that everything arrived intact. If anything arrived damaged, let me know and I can get that take care of for you.

  • 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...

  • Replacement Bearings 2788 and 1779
    Bearing # 2788 has an inner diameter of 1.50-inches and fits race # 2729. Bearing # 1779 has an inner diameter of 0.938-inches and fits race # 1729. We do offer all of these bearing and race parts and if you wish you can install new bearings in your current hubs. The idler hub you referenced, part # AKIHUB-655-6-K, uses different bearings that have different dimensions. The bearings in this hub are inner bearing # 25580 (1.75-inch inner diameter) and outer bearing # 15123 (1.25-inch inner...

  • Availability of Bearings 1779 and 2788
    We have the bearing part # 1779 and the race part # 1729. We also have the race part # 2729 and the bearing # 2788. Since I am not able to determine what seal you need based on your numbers I'd need you to get me the diameter of the spindle where the seal rides as well as the diameter of the hub where the seal installs.

  • 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...

  • Replacement Bearings, Races and Seals for Hub #22834
    Although the #22834 hub is an older, obsolete trailer hub, we do have the replacement parts you are looking for. From what I have found, this hub uses a # 29031 grease seal. The replacement inner bearing is # 2788 and the outer bearing is # 1779. The races you need are # 2729 and # 1729.

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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Bearing Crossover for a Bearing Marked HR8 720SE
    I tried to find information on the bearing and race you listed and no information is available pertaining to those markings. You said the axle is 1 inch OD so it sounds like the TruRyde Trailer Bearing, item # L44643, and the Race, forL44643, item # L44610, may be the correct parts for your application. The # L44343 bearing has a 1 inch diameter bore and the # L44610 race has an outer diameter of 1.98 inches. If you measure the ID of your bearing and the OD of your race and they match,...

    We do indeed offer the # 2729 Race and the # 2788 bearing. We also offer the # 1729 race, but I show it as a match for the # 1779 bearing, which has a .938 inside diameter. We don't carry a 1780 wheel bearing.

  • Replacement Tyson Bearing 1779
    I do have an option for you however I was not able to find the measurements of the Tyson 1779 bearing you are referring to. We do carry the Replacement Trailer Hub Bearing part # 1779 which measures an inner diameter of 0.938". I recommend to measure your Tyson bearing to make sure it matches up, if it does you can use the replacement etrailer 1779 bearing. You will need the race part # 1729 which measures 2.240".

  • What is the Axle Capacity for an Old Trailer with Hub # 22834
    The bearing numbers you have provided indicate that you have hub 22834. This hub is no longer made but there are parts for it such as the bearings # 2788 and # 1779 an the races # 2729 and # 1729. The hub is rated for 2,600 pounds which means it fits a 5,200 pound axle.

  • Looking for Replacement Timken 1779 and 2780 Wheel Bearings
    We do offer the # 1779 bearing which has a .938 inner diameter, as well as the compatible race as part # 1729. It's our house brand manufactured for us by TruRyde. We don't offer a 2780 bearing, which has a 1.4365 inner diameter.

  • Replacement Bearings, Races and Grease Seals Old 6 Lug Utility Trailer Hubs
    I couldn't find that seal number for a cross-reference. Based on your manual caliper measurements the Grease Seal # 29031 is a perfect fit. Then you will use the bearing # 2788 and # 1779. If you need the replacement races for these then # 1729 and # 2729 are what you need. I recommend using the 7-Piece Installation Set for Bearings, Races, and Seals # PTW83020 to make removal of your current races and installing the new ones easier.

  • Trailer Hub With Inner Bearing 2788 And Outer Bearing 1779
    Hi Daryl! The hub you are needing was discontinued by Dexter quite some time ago, unfortunately. The full part number is 22834UC1 and you may be able to find one at a local trailer supply shop, but the chances are pretty slim, I'm sorry to say. That said, we do have all the internals for this hubs still (bearings, races, and seal) and I have those linked below. How bad is your current hub? Do you think it could be cleaned up and still used?
