I'm new here, and came looking for some help. My elderly father-in-law has an 84 Ranger bass boat, and has on more than one occasion, wiped the trailer bearings out. The last time, in the fall of '14, it was so bad, part of the bearing was fused to the spindle. I had to take a hacksaw to it to get it off. So last November, when he brought it to my house to store it, I spun the wheel on the last repaired hub, and I heard grinding.
So I took it all apart today, and the outer bearing is wiped. Inspection of the spindle, shows much damage. So I'm looking for a replacement axle. This axle is rectangle, measures 2" x 2.75" with a 1" drop on the spindle. I've scoured the net looking for a match, but didn't have much luck for a direct replacement.
Thanks everyone!
