I am looking spare 5 Lug 8" split wheels like these. If you have some that you would like to part with please let me know. I also would like to find hubs to match it at all possible. Inside bearing 1.24" outside bearing .75" but it is shorter than the standard hub.



Thank You
David

David,

Aircraft or small industrial equipment?

If you can media blast one of them you may find a brand/company name that may help expand your search.

I will have to give them a thorough checking for a manufacture. Seems like I remember seeing something on the backside.

Thanks
David

They look like military wheels on munition carriers.. If you find a really long ## on the back its a parts number you may be able to search for by googling..

Saginaw Products Corp, they are military wheels. I found some surplus tire wheels and hubs but they were out of my price range. Over $500 a tire wheel hub combo, lol.

My best bet may be new axle with standard bolt pattern and bearings. I really like the solid bar stock axle though.

Part of me thinks I should replace the entire axle so there would be standard hubs, bearings, and wheels.

The lug studs are 3/8" Fine Thread with a lock washer. No tapered fit. Going with a new axle I would no longer be stuck with 4.80x8 or 5.70x8 tires and could go slightly larger tire and wheel.

The other part of me says that the axle and hubs have been on the trailer for 60yrs and should live on, haha.


Thanks Everybody and Happy New Year!

Thanks to KennethW's generosity I am now the proud owner of a spare wheel.

Thank you KennethW, the wheel will live on and be put to good use.
