Personally, assuming the trailer already has suspension, I'd buy hubs and fit standard bolt on wheels.
my thoughts exactly!We sell them as wheelbarrow wheels. No way would I put them on a trailer for road use.
You mean 'those rims', surely...Buy a new axle. Them rims have lost too much material and they're of an ancient style. New axle will have proper metric taper roller bearings and new wheels.
Yes I saw bearings which are Metric outer-race and Imperial inner (eg 52mm and 1") but it's the opposite I need (2" and 25mm)You can get bearings with a combination of imperial & metric sizes but you will not like the price as they are expensive!
They look pretty good. Will look into them. ThanksIf I'm understanding correctly you need an 8" wheel to fit on a 25mm axle.
NB. Its the older type standard pz 200 type haybob has 8" wheels. A set here but grass tread pattern possibly better as the overall height slightly lower than ribbed and match what you have. You will just need to check axle lengths are suitable.
No, i meant them rims there.You mean 'those rims', surely...
I already have a new rim and it's not corroded. Keep up Brad

This will be better than your current setup. Still not for road use.
These will be an order of magnitude better and intended for road use
Yes am fully aware of what an RS seal is thanksThe grease seal is right there in your photo!
As designated by the "RS suffix on the bearing number - there's a seal on the other side of that bearing too.
new wheel does not have an oil seal on the rear
Thanks for that AgroshieldIt would not be too difficult to make a shield that is a tight fit on the silver hub and has a hole just slightly bigger than the green axle.
You could go the opposite way and make it tight on the axle and clearance on the hub. If it had a projecting internal helix to suit the wheel rotation direction (so the hand of the helix would differ between LHS and RHS), it would tend to expel anything that tried to go in, like an old-style labyrinth crank seal.
Neither are seals as such, but would slow down dirt ingress.
3D printing would be a good option for either.
