How to Pick Out Trailer Hubs for Older Dilly Trailer
Updated 10/09/2017 | Published 10/08/2017
Question:
Hello, I get all my trailer parts from you all.... I have 1976 Dilly Trailer I am rebuilding. I need to get the correct hub kits for it. Serial # 366234 and Model DLX-250. Says on sticker that it was manufactured by Green and Green MFG. CO. in Lancaster Texas. The other Sticker says: Dilly Trailers, Nelson- DYkes Co Dallas Texas. I have pics of the stickers if that would help get the right parts. Thanks

In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. I wish there was a way to find out what you need based solely on trailer info that you gave, but that's not something that's readily available. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.
Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed are the parts of the spindle where the bearings ride.
If you get back to me with that information I will help you pick out the right hub assemblies. Or, you can follow the link I attached that will take you to the page that has all of our replacement hubs.
You would want to first select the bolt pattern that you have, next select the inner bearing you have, followed by selecting your outer bearing, and then all the correct hubs will be listed.
