Question:
I am looking to purchase 2 of the CE13515 hub assemblies. This may have been asked else where, but wondering what grease brand is used in that hub assembly and what greases are available to purchase that are compatible to add grease at a later time? Secondly are these well built assemblies quality wise vs hubs purchased through a local trailer store. Thanks

Hey Randy! The CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case item # CE13515 comes pre greased with a marine formula grease like item # L54FR. It'll fit 3,500 lbs axles with #84 spindles.
I can't speak for what's on the shelf in your area but CE Smith is a reputable company that stands by their products. As far as galvanized hubs go, these are at the top of our options quality wise.
What kind of trailer do you have?
