Mobile home axles typically don't use standard bearing combinations, or even standard bearings. They are also intended for one time use. The 1.5" ID you have means it could be a # 2788 or # 29749 bearing, neither of which are used in modern hubs. If you want to trade out the hub the only solution would be to replace the axle.

Finding a replacement axle will require knowing the capacity as well as the hub face to hub face measurement. I'm guessing this is a homemade trailer so you will need to determine what capacity is required since there is likely no way to find the capacity of the mobile home axle.

I have attached a video below which shows how to measure, along with a link to all of our available axles for your reference.
