Trailor tire help!!

[Uglystk]

Hey guys my tire just went out on my older trailor and it has the hub and wheel all in one my local retail shop doesn't have anything and I was wondering if anyone on here as any suggestions. The over all length on the axel is about 4 1/8" long I found a assembly (hub440 and bearing l44649) they fit but I needed about another 1/8 of an inch to get the nut all the way down to the cottering pin hole. I will take any suggestions I'm about to start cutting things up so any last suggestions will help thank you!

Wheel and hub all in one? A picture would really help me out here.

https://www.easternmarine.com/8-Fixed-Hub-Integral-Tire-Rim/ just like this but my bearing the l44649 is slightly larger then 1" so I don't think that will work and I would really like to convert it to a regular hub assembly

The numbers are from redneck trailor supply, and I will!

I ran across an issue today of an axle assembly my brother gave me.
He said it was metric. When I went to put the hubs on the standard 1" shaft,
it was about 2mm too small. RATS ! So I had to buy new hubs from NAPA for $50 each.

the L44649 is the most common 1" shaft bearing by Timken.
Can you put an accurate micrometer on the shaft ????

 

[Johnny]

oh wow . . . . golf cart wheels.

some questions - how far will you be pulling this trailer ?
what would be the top speed you would be pulling it ?

I saw something similar to this at Harbor Freight today . . . did you check with them yet ?

 

[Uglystk]

I wish but I don't have those or calipers with me right now but it the l44649 is one inch then I will just settle with the ones from eastern marine

 

[Uglystk]

No I haven't checked harbor freight out there is one right down the street from me though (sorry for the double post)

 

[Johnny]

yes, the L44649 bearings are the standard 1" trailer hub. For both 4 and 5 lug wheels.
Don't know what to tell you about what you have.
other than go to Harbor Freight on line and see what they have.

If the tire is a standard size just replace the tire. This will give you time to find a proper solution.

I had the same problem on the trailer I have under my StarCraft 14'. I had the all-in-one wheel/hub combo as well. When I went to put on new hubs, they were too long.

A little investigation showed that there are 2 different spindle sizes:

There is a short hub, part number BT-150A, that will take 1" or 1 1/16" bearings that might work for you.

Hope that helps.
