Help please

[Coach Renner]

I have completely shredded my wheel bearings on my ranger trail trailer. I am going to have to replace the entire axle. Can anyone answer the following:
1. What is the weight limit for the axle that I replace it with?

2. What are the specs for the Ranger Trail for the 1983 - 373V Ranger Bassmaster Classic?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can you just replace the spindle?

Re: Help please

Unfortunately no. It has ripped it up and actually fused them to the axle from the heat.

See what size the original bearings are... replace with like size or larger. Typically a single axle trailer has 3500 lb axle. But check the bearings to be sure....

abctrailerparts.com has really good prices.

I can't imagine that boat would be near 3500 pounds, but I would get that axle because it's like 20 bucks more than the 2000 # one.

I am really sorry to hear it Coach a fryed hub plain sucks, thats one of those things that boat owners dread and obsess about. If you take good mesurments and depending on it fits a single or double axle, You should be able to find a replacment local or on line. my personal pick is axle hub system known as a safety lub set up, it allows a complet hub grease repack/flush with out taking the hub apart. Altho thier is many ways to do it. Being as your going to replace it I would look into a better way to maintain your hubs. hope it helps.
