Determining Which Replacement Hub Fits 1000 Gallon Water Wagon

Question:

looking for a replacement hub that will work for our water wagon that we use to water the roads during summer. It was welded together with whatever they could find laying around years ago. even the spindles are welded in place. As long as I can find a hub with bearings/seals etc. Ill be able to get another season out of it. let me know what you might carry to fit. See attached photos for dimensions etc. Thanks!

We may have a hub that will work for you, but I will need to know what bearings your current hubs use.

To do this you will need to remove one of the current hubs and look for the bearing numbers stamped in the face of each bearing as shown in the included picture of the # L44649.

If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers then you will need to use digital calipers # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle in the locations shown in the included diagram. Judging by the drawing you provided I do not know if the 1-3/4" measurement is where the inner bearing goes, or where the grease seal goes as they are two different sizes.

With the above information I will be able to recommend a replacement hub for your water wagon.
