Hello Wies, thanks for reaching out. We may have some of what you are looking for, but I would need more specific information on this trailer in order to know exactly what will work. A lot of older trailers use parts that are oddball sizes and are now obsolete, but it really depends on what you have.
We may have a wheel that will work, but it sounds like you are looking for 14.5" dually wheels which is not something we have. We do not have any 14.5" wheels so you would need to go with something different. Our smallest dually wheel would be a 16" like part # AM20783 which is an 8 lug. I would also need to confirm what bolt pattern you need. For example, all of our 14" wheels are 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern like part # LH52VR so please measure and confirm the bolt pattern.
Also are you needing tires too? Or just wheels?
For the drums, I would need to know your bearing sizes. There is no way to look this up, so the best way to determine this would be to pull a hub and remove the bearings. If you can get the number off the edge of each bearing that would be great. If the numbers aren't legible, you can measure the ID of each one with a caliper.
Or if you are wanting new axles I would need to know what weight capacity you need, as well as the hub face length. If we have an axle that fits, I can easily throw together a list of the parts that go with it like brakes, hubs, wheels and tires.
Let me know and I am happy to look into it.

Hey Wies, were you able to measure the bolt pattern and bearing sizes on your trailer’s wheel assemblies? Once you have those details, it’ll be easier to confirm if one of the wheel options or a new axle will fit. Let me know what you find—I can help narrow it down from there.
