Question:
I have a Balco boat trailer and would like to purchase a hub. What info do you need and where would it be located. Do you need spindle dimensions. Thank you,

Hello Michael, I can absolutely help with that.
If you can tell me the weight capacity of your axle, that will help a lot to narrow things down.
If you can remove a wheel there may be a number cast on your hub. In most cases we can use this number to know the correct replacement.
If you can't find a number, your best bet will be to pull a hub and remove the bearings. There should be a number stamped on the edge of each bearing, although these can be hard to make out if the bearings are work. If you can't make out the number, you can measure the ID of each bearing with a micrometer, or you can measure the part of the spindle where the bearing rides.
I will also need to know your hub bolt pattern.
Drop that info in a reply below and I am happy to look into it and see what we can do.
