Picking Out Wobble Roller Replacements for 1972 EX Loader Trailer
Question:
I need new rollers for my ancient 1972 EX Loader trailer. Would you magically happen to know what size rollers I need based on the model? ha, ha. It fits a 1972 Starcraft 18foot aluminum boat and I am guessing there are a total of 32 rollers on 8 brackets that hold 4 rollers each. If you dont know, then you dont know and I wouldnt expect you to, but maybe this is more of a common trailer than I realize.

Best solution I can provide would be to have you get me the dimensions of the rollers that you need and I can see what we offer as a replacement. I wish there was a way for me to know without having you check but even on newer trailers there's always a chance someone changed something so it's best to measure first and go from there. Get me the diameter of the roller, the width, and the diameter of the center hole and we can see what would work best.
For example, the part # YR500BW-9P is 5 inches in diameter, is 3 inches wide and has a center hole diameter designed to fit a 1-1/8 inch shank. It's also non-marking too which is nice. If these dimensions match your trailer this would work well. If not, I attached a link to a page that has all of the wobble rollers we offer. You can select from the filters on the page the dimensions you need or you can get back to me with them!
