what is this

i bought 16" wheels for my trailer and one wheel has this wheelbearing-hub-something.

it dont look like a part from a trailer?

Huh, interesting.. I have no damn idae what it is.. But it is interesting.. Some kind of quick disconnect spare mount?

 

this was the first i thought, but, it turns and there is a wheelbearing inside..... and in a spare mount i see no need for a bearing......

Quite common on boat trailers to carry spare bearings as well as wheel. I have had bearings go out as well as tires. Maybe someone decided to carry around a spare bearing and that seemed like any easy way to carry, odd quick disconnect though

 

I retracted my previuos comments...upon further review of the pictures I have no idea what it's there for.

 

Whatchacallit for the doohickey.. I'm stumped.. jwinsley's idea seems to be reasonable, spare hub and bearing assy.. Not a bad idea if that's the case.. Gives me an idea for my spare tire carrier and an old D27 front spindle I have laying around though!

I'd post this on the G503 for an answer...

 

Could it be a spindle that is to be slid into tubing and welded and cross-pinned to create a trailer axle?

 

Gerald, FWIW, that wheel in the picture is a motor wheel. Notice the raised sections on the opposite side of the lugs from the hub. CJ2A guys love those things.

 

do you have pics or a link?

i find nothing........


thanks
