I have a rice trailer, 16+6 partial tilt trailer with two 7,000lb axles. I need the whole wheel hub assembly for all four wheels. Can you help?

To find the correct replacement hubs or drum assemblies for your trailer you will need the wheel bearing numbers or spindle measurements. Unfortunately, I don't have any reference material that would tell me which wheel bearings your trailer was equipped with.

Reference the attached picture for bearing number location and what measurements are needed on your spindle.

Using a digital calipers, like # PTW80157, will help you get an accurate measurement on your trailer's bearings and spindles.

I have also attached a help article on trailer wheel bearings that will give you more info in trying to find which hubs or drums you will need for your trailer.
