Features:
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
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.

Perfect fit, great price
Parts fit perfectly and arrived in a timely manner. Excellent experience.
Good service
Exact product ordered arrived as promised and at an unbeatable price.
Thank you
Order was shipped and received quickly and accurately. Good communication every step of the way.
Great
Worked great
Order was accurate and fast. No problems
Still rolling. No complaints
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.
product was excellent everything fit perfect erika was awsome she went above her job to help me couldnt ask for any better help thank u erika
very affordable and didn't have to wait more then a few days a parts were here will be first on list when need bearings very good service!

Great price, fast shipping, All in stock parts, great service.. Thanks from the great White North
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
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!
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.
I replaced all the bearings and races on my dual axle trailer. The parts were a perfect fit, and trailer runs like new.
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.
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.
Fast shipping and accurate parts.
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.

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.
