Bearing Buddy Recommendation for Trailer Where BB1938 Was Slightly Too Small
Updated 06/01/2020 | Published 05/28/2020 >
Question:
I have a 5 x 8 wood bottom trailer i bought at tractor supply. After measuring for the correct size according to various websites, I determined I needed the model 1938 bearing buddy. This model is too small. Do you have any idea what size bearing buddy this trailer takes? I cant find information anywhere.

Helpful Expert Reply:
If the 1938 Bearing Buddy was too small the next biggest size is the # BB1968 which is for a hub bore of 1.968 inches. Since this is pretty close to what you thought you had and is slightly larger this would most likely be it.
