When manufacturing axles for a wagon/trailer you will need to measure the inside of the square tube that you will be using for the axle. Once you know this measurement then you can pick the correct spindles and idler hubs.

One spindle that would work well for your build would be TruRyde 1-1/2 Inch Square BT8 Spindle # TRU97FR. This spindle has a square mount shank that will fit an 1-1/2 square tube. This spindle will have to be welded to the axle. It is recommend that this be done by a certified welder.

The idler hubs that will fit this spindle is # AKIHUB-440-2-1K. This hub will fit a wheel size between 8 to 12 inches and has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. This hub will include bearings, seal, dust cap, and lugs.

I also recommend grease, # L11465, a bearing packer # L70025, and if needed a grease gun # L30200 when installing the hubs on to your axle.
