Question:

Have a trailer I was trying to buy updated hub/brake assemblies for. It’s ultimately an old mobile home or jobsite trailer. It uses a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern with a 4.25” wheel center. It uses a 1.313 ID p/n: 2585 inner bearings and a .875 ID outer bearing that has no marking on it at all. I know it’s older but do you all have any info on anything like this?

Thanks for reaching out, Branden!

We've got the Bearing # 2585 and Race # 2520 for the inner bearings, but that outer bearing has pretty unique dimensions and you'll have a hard time finding a replacement. I wish this wasn't the case, but mobile home axles are known to have random parts thrown on them because they are meant to only be used once.

Ultimately, I recommend replacing your axle(s) with something that is meant to be used regularly but I know that changes things for you as far as effort and finances go.

Before you give up on your bearing hunt I recommend reaching out to Timken because they have a massive library of different bearings they have designed. If you'd rather just go ahead and bite the bullet for the axle replacement, please let me know what your axle weight ratings are along with the Hub Face and Spring Seat dimensions so I can recommend something else for you.
