Helpful Expert Reply:

The # 25580 bearing and the # L68149 bearing that you referenced have different inner diameters.

The # 25580 bearing has an inner diameter of 1.750 inches. This bearing's application is as an inner bearing for a #42 spindle or as an outer bearing for a #99 spindle.

The # L68149 bearing has an inner diameter of 1.378 inches. The application for this bearing is as use as the inner bearing on a #84 spindle.

I have attached photos showing these measurements for you.

Answer 1

Hey Doug, the #8-213-5UC1 hub that you mentioned uses only the #25580 inner and #LM67048 outer bearings. The #25580 bearing has a 1.75" ID and roughly 3-1/4" OD. The #L68149 bearing has a 1.378" ID and roughly 2-3/8" OD. So, there…

If the brake magnet is worn to the point that the windings are visible then you know it's time to replace the magnet. However, magnets can also fail without the visible signs of wear. Check out the FAQ article I attached on testing brake magnets…

Answer 3

For an axle using outer bearing #LM67048 and inner bearing #25580 I can narrow it down to having a capacity of 5,200 or 6,000 lbs. In the case of replacement hubs for the axle, the hub assemblies for either will work for you. I have included a link…

Answer 5

Based on the bearings you gave, that is either a 5,200 lb or 6,000 lb axle, but it's not possible for me to know specifically, that's just the capacities of the hubs that have those bearings. Realistically, to get the exact capacity…

Answer 6

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

Answer 8

Mobile home axles, hubs, and parts are designed for more of a one time use. Most of the time, replacement parts and options are not available. However, since you found the bearing numbers (Inner Bearing Item #25580 and Outer Bearing Item #15245) then…

Answer 9

The diameter of it is a pretty good way to determine the capacity. - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch diameter - 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2 inch diameter…

Answer 10

Since you have 42 spindles on your axles there's no reason you couldn't use an 8k rates hub/drum with 8 lugs like the part #AKHD-865-7-1-EZ-K.

Answer 11

You will need to get the other bearing number from inside your current hubs before we can pick you out replacement hubs. Most likely the outer bearing you pulled is a LM67048 and the inner you have is a 25580 which would mean that the #8-201-5UC3…
