I did some research and found some information that you may find helpful, but to determine the correct parts for replacing the bearings and seals on your Escort boat trailer axle, you will need to remove one of the hubs and get the part numbers off of the inner and outer bearings and seal. The bearing part numbers are usually etched into the back of the bearings and the seal part number is usually embossed in the rubber portion of the seal. Escort does not list axle capacity or bearings part numbers in relation to the trailer serial number.

Here is what I was able to determine using your serial number, 4051198A6KD000481.

405 = Manufacturer, Escort Trailer
1 = Single Axle Trailer
198 = 19 feet 8 inches
A = Welded Tube Frame
6 = n/a
K = Built 1989
D = Build location, Miami, OK
000481 = Number 481 built in 1989

If you would like to send me the bearing and seal part numbers, I will be glad to help determine the correct cross reference parts needed to replace the bearings and seals on your trailer.
