Hello Ron; I'm sorry to say that we do not have a hub that matches that bearing combination. It is not uncommon for an older trailer like yours to have an obsolete bearing combination with no available replacement hub. Unfortunately, that means the only option is to replace the axle and switch to hubs that use a modern bearing combination. You will need to know the axle capacity as well as the hub face measurement to find a replacement.
