Question:

The Dexter 8-427 hub is no longer available. Even looking through Dexter's site the only references to it are replacement bearings. You can use a wheel with a larger pilot hole as long as the wheel attaches to the hub using lug nuts and not bolts. Hub and drum assembly # 8-430-5UC3 uses lug nuts to secure the wheel to the hub and uses inner bearing 387A and outer bearing 25580.
