Question:
I have a lawn trailer with 3500 Dexter axle 1920863 s/n 212281985. I currently have drums can I switch to just hubs? If so, what hub do I need? Thanks for the help.

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can Trent. A Dexter 3,500 lbs axle uses item # L68149 inner and item # L44649 outer bearings. To replace your hub with a standard idler hub you'll need one of the following parts below that matches your lug nut pattern:
5 on 4-1/2 item # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K - most common lug nut pattern
5 on 5 item # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K
5 on 4-3/4 item # AKIHUB-5475-35-K
6 on 5-1/2 item # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K
Do you know what your current hubs lug nut pattern is?
