northshore Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey, just wondering if anyone can help me out.. I have an old homemade trailer, i buy new bearings and repack every 1-2 years, depending on wear. I have a somewhat faulty hub, the grease seal doesn't sit properly into the hub base (the hub is slightly warped from age) - and the bearings always go on this hub prematurely - i have to constantly keep my eye on it and guess when it's going to go. (since the grease seal doesn't sit perfectly snug - water gets in and eventually the bearings fail). I want to buy a new hubs - but don't know what model to buy. Since it's a homemade trailer using an old car axle. Here are the bearing measurements, hub specs - maybe someone can help? 4 bolt hub (~3 in apart), front bearing LM12749 (ID 0.8653"), back bearing L68149 (ID 1 3/8"), Grease Seal 19221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubs are usually classed by the diameter of the spindle they fit on, with 1" being the most common I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northshore Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 yes, unfortunately i have a non-standard spindle for this trailer - it's an old homemade job - it's not a simple 1" diameter spindle - it requires 2 different bearings for the hub to seat properly - anyway - i maybe able to salvage the hub - if i replace the bearing races - anyone know where i can buy the race for the LM12749 bearing? i'll check Napa on Monday...

Fisherman Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Take those bearing numbers you have and go to Canada Bearing or any other bearing shop, they will cross ref them and get you rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bob Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I don't understand.......you replace the bearing 1 - 2 years without replacing the race.....They are sold in a set, at least every time I purchased them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northshore Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) nope when i buy my bearings they don't usually come with the bearing race/cup. I bought them at Can tire tho... just a thank-you to everyone's suggestions... made a few calls this morning and "Toronto Belt and Bearing" had exactly what i needed.. 2 thumbs up to these guys now i have to put everything back together again, so me and humpty dumpty can go fishing again..
