Roller Shaft Diameter for CE Smith Keel Roller Assembly for 3" Wide Trailer Tongues

Question

Question:

I believe my assembly is the same and want to order a new roller shaft prior to removing the old one and need to know the diameter and length of the roller shaft on this assembly. Im guessing it may be 5/8inch diameter x 6 1/4inch shaft. Can you please confirm? Note: 3inch trailer tongue on our trailer.

Jon thanks but I also need to know the length to order the correct length of shaft. I had guessed it may be 6 1/4" length as that size was closest size that appeared may be correct. I tied contacting CE Smith directly but it appears earlier they were having some sort of server issues.

@Dave It should have a 6-1/4" shaft but at this point in time I don't have a way to get my hands on it to check. Since this comes as a whole kit and is designed to fit a 3" wide trailer tongue you'll be able to use the shaft that comes with this kit just fine.
