Expert Reply:

Dexter hub drum assembly # 8-219-13UC3 is a replacement for your hub drum according to my contact at Redneck Trailer Supply. This is rated for 7K, has a 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern and 9/16-inch studs.

You can also identify compatible replacement hub/drums for your trailer by matching up a few characteristics from your existing set up. You'll need to match up the bearings used, the hub's bolt pattern and your axle weight rating.

The linked photo shows the usual appearance of bearing part numbers. If you cannot get those part numbers you'll need to measure your spindles at the two points noted in the photo (the points where the bearings ride). The easiest way is to find the original bearing numbers. You'll also want to note your hub's bolt pattern. The linked article will be helpful if you are unsure. Last, you'll want to check the sticker or plate on your axle to confirm it's weight rating.

You can then use the linked page to match up your bolt pattern, bearing set and axle capacity to find suitable replacement hub/drums. Just click on the features you need. For example, if your axle is rated for 3500-lbs, you need a 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern hub with inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649, then you can use part # 84546UC3.
