How to Determine Correct Replacement Hub for Gator Trailer
Published 01/24/2020
Question:
I have a four lug trailer hub TDE 46201 that I need to replace on a gator trailer. I’m not sure if the axle diameter. I want to use a five lug hub, what should I use?

Expert Reply:
Does your trailer use roller or sealed bearings? According to Dexter Marine, who now owns TDE, the 46201 used sealed bearings. We don't carry a hub that small that uses sealed bearings, but if you could reply and provide me with the diameter of the spindle where the bearing rides, I'd be happy to see if we offer a proper replacement.
The # AKIHUB-545-35-K hub you mentioned isn't a likely fit, as it's compatible with a tapered spindle which a sealed bearing typically uses a straight spindle.
