i'm needing to replace SWEET PEA's trailer axle and hubs. the trail-rite trailer was built sept of '83 and came with hub brakes. the brakes are long gone (rusted to a hollow shell) along with the surge hitch. all are past their working lives. the frame has been cleaned and repainted. i replaced the tongue (there is a story in that) late fall '09. the axle springs, rims and tires were replace in '08 by SWEEP PEA's prior owner. i need to find a replacement axle/hub assembly. the trailer is 'rated' for a load of 2490 pounds. i just don't know all the specs ... my 'quick and dirty' measurments are: * hub bolts are ~2 5/8" on center * the 'drop' for the hubs is 4" * the axle, square, is about 68" long. anyone have the specifics? does the pacific trailer used for the new M17's the same as that used on the old trail-rite? dave scobie, M17 #375 - SWEET PEA
