Clues are Travel Trailer/Mobile Home, Tires are 7x15, 5 lug bolt style instead of lugnuts, backing plates are 5 bolt as well, orginal trailer was about 35ft long, I cut it down to 20ft deck.

I would get some pictures behind the drum but I'm still working on how the hell they come off...

It looks like it has smaller drums so those are probably 5k axles at best. What is the diameter of the axle tube?

Drums appear to be about 13" in diam, and tubes right around 3-3.5". These are pretty rough, it's dark and I was using a tape measure and flashlight.

Those are 5200lbs axles. I think, don't quote me, that those are Hadco Axles. I don't really think there are parts left for them, and I don't think any common Dexter stuff will fit them. The backing plates might, but not the hub/drums, bearings are all different.

Just what I'm thinking off the top of my head.

So that's not the ground behind the wheel in the first pic... Ok, if it has large drums and a 3+ inch axle tube it could be a 5800# but I was unaware they made that high with 5 lug. Motornoggin will know far more than I on this. :D

Hmm not sure which part you are thinking is the ground, they are sitting in a snow/mud mix right now because of the temp change.


Eitherway the Hadco guess seems close, I hoping to get the drums off tonight if I get time and get more measurements to compare to.

They have the loaded backing plates there as well:

Depending on what I can get parts for, I may waste my time right now with these instead of new. This is going to be a bumper pull setup and I am not planning on towing over 5K. I think my old tractor is 3-4K max. I just want trailer brakes since I will be pulling with my half ton for the time being.

And more hints....

Things seem to be in great shape inside of the drums, pads are 12x2 and have just under a 1/4" left on them. Plenty of grease all over the spindle and bearings. I'll see waht the rest of these look like later but looks like I will be sticking with them.
Oh and I was wrong on the tubes they appear to be 2.5" (keyboard took a shit on me last night)
