Question:

I am trying to replace the Dayton style mobile home hubs on an old trailer and looking to purchase 4 replacement hubs. Do you offer a replacement hub for these old style axles?

Hello Britt, thanks for reaching out. The short answer is no, maybe but probably not. We might be able to throw you a bearing or two, but in most cases mobile home hubs, and most older trailers, use parts that are now obsolete. Also, mobile home axles and hubs are meant for one-time use and are not intended to be re used.

Most mobile home axles use oddball/nonexistent bearing combinations. In a lot of cases we will offer one, or both of the bearings, but no hubs that use that combination. A lot of older axles also use hubs that are "shorter" than the current standard, so modern hubs can't be used.

All that said, I am happy to look into it and see if we have anything for you. I would not have a way to look up your hubs to know any specs though. We could try looking up the casting number on the hub if you can find that. Otherwise you would need to remove a hub and unpack the bearings. Try to get the bearing number off the edge, or you can measure the ID of each bearing with a caliper. Check the ID and OD of each race and do the same for your seal. With that info I will be able to tell you if we have anything. If not, the next step would be to look at replacing your axle with something more modern.

Let me know what info you have and I am happy to look into it.
