Determining Weight Capacity of Dexter Mobile Home Axle Using Serial Number  

I reached out to my contact at Dexter and they don't have any information based on that serial number in their system. They recommended taking off one of the wheels and on the hub there will be a number that starts with 8 followed by a dash and…

Thanks for the information on your trailer. For your axle with brakes I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have the spindles with the integrated grease…

What you have on your trailer is called a 5 spoke utility hub, like part #8-174-5UC3. They're pretty common on mobile homes so I'm guessing this is where your axle came from. This is also evidenced by your 8-14.5 tires since they're often…

Replacing the spindle on your axle will require cutting the old spindle off and welding a new spindle (see link) in its place. You would need to find a certified welder so that he has the proper tools and welding equipment to make the repair. To…

The spindle dimensions you have do not match any of the standard trailer spindles that are available so we do not have any hubs that would fit them. Honestly your best option is going to be to replace the axles. Installing new spindles is a…

I went out to the warehouse to take some measurements of trailer spindle #TRU37FR for you. The stub is actually 3-3/8 inches from the end to the brake flange. It is 3 inches from the end to where the weld is for the brake flange. The brake flange…

Looks like you are in need of a number 42 spindle like the part #TRU37FR. The numbers you listed aren't part numbers but judging by the shape of what you sent in a picture of this is a match. You still might verify this though by measuring where…
