Question:
Hello im trying to convert a mobile home axle to standard hub but looks like the inner bearing may only be 1.5 inch id does thos make sense if so what h7b kit can be used

Mobile home axles typically don't use standard bearing combinations, or even standard bearings. They are also intended for one time use. The 1.5" ID you have means it could be a # 2788 or # 29749 bearing, neither of which are used in modern hubs. If you want to trade out the hub the only solution would be to replace the axle.
Finding a replacement axle will require knowing the capacity as well as the hub face to hub face measurement. I'm guessing this is a homemade trailer so you will need to determine what capacity is required since there is likely no way to find the capacity of the mobile home axle.
I have attached a video below which shows how to measure, along with a link to all of our available axles for your reference.
