What Replacement Axle will Work on My Axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 Lug Pattern?

Question:

Hello, I need a new wheel hub for my trailer, but Im having a hard time figuring out which hub might fit. The original hubs and spindles came from a Ford Fairlane ~1964. It is a 5 1/2-20 lug on 4-1/2 The larger bearing is stamped Timkin LM67048 with an ID of 1.25 and the smaller is stamped Tyson LM-11949 with an ID of 3/4. I will also need the bearing kit, castle nut, washer, cap, cotter pin etc. Id really like to keep the spindle, but everything else out to the wheel probably needs to be replaced. Thank you, I appreciate any help you are able to give me.

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, given the age and the fact that the bearings do not link to a specific axle, I recommend an entirely new axle for your ~1964 Ford Fairline trailer. For example, I recommend the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e65GR. This axle has a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern as well.

I went ahead and linked all of our axles that have 5 on 4-1/2 lug patters for you to browse. In order to find a compatible axle, you will need to know the spring center to spring center and hub face to hub face measurements. Feel free to respond to this answer with those measurements, and I will be happy to recommend our best axle for you.
