Parts Needed To Add Idler Hubs To a Log Splitter Trailer Which Uses a Wheelbarrow Style Wheel
Question:
I want to replace the wheelbarrow type wheels and tires they have no lug bolts /nuts that are on my new log splitter with hubs that will allow me to use wheels with lug bolts / nuts to facilitate changing a flat while being towed on the road. Can you help me to get the correct hubs ? Thanks

Adding a system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # A12RS440 will allow you to bolt to your frame on your log splitter trailer. This will give you an idler hub and suspension to give the log splitter a smoother ride on the roads. The hubs will accept a 4 on 4" wheel and tire like the # AM30630.
Otherwise you can get 2 Spindles # TRU44FR to weld onto your trailer in place of the wheelbarrow type axle. Then you will be able to add 2 Hubs # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-2K which also have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern like above.
There is not a hub that will fit on the shaft of your current axle that will allow you to switch to lug style wheels.
