    Rolling hub ?

    I am interested in buying a whole complete hub , bearings for a spare ? I have heard it referred too as a “rolling hub “ ? don’t see it offered anywhere ? not from UFP , or any of the trailed parts places , this would be for a standard straight axle trailer “ not torsion axle ....any body know where to look ?...

    Northern tool sells loaded hubs. Not sure if your trailer has disc brakes. Ive yet to find a loaded hub for disc brakes anywhere

    If your trailer has brakes, be sure to get a hub with a brake disc on it. If you have a tandem axle, you can still run it on the non-brake axle.

    I've got one.. Dang if I remember where I got it. It's a UFP that I got when we used to trailer down to Bacarrac Mexico. Not sure which rig it was for.. Guess I should go dig it out..

    Not sure if it’s a rolling hub but I got a spare hud kit for Christmas from Eastern marine some assembly required. It has all the bearing kits and seals needed I just need to grease the bearings and put it together.

    In the event you have to change out away from home.. need to have someway to secure the caliper out of harms way. I believe I would also disable the surge brake.
