On the last trip of our recent house moving I had a "slight" problem with the trailer - pulled into our storage sight to meet my son who asked with a straight face "do you know you only have 3 wheels on the trailer dad?"
Having just driven 150 miles with a loaded trailer and being very vigilant I was somewhat mortified
Anyways, turns out it had peeled off about 1/2 mile up the road and ended up on the farmers drive!
The bearing had failed and hub and wheel pulled off over the bearing leaving the locknut in situ
SO, I am trying to find a replacement axle - think its a Knott Avonride but with brackets at 126cm centres can't seem to find anything.
The stub axle is pretty mangled so I am reluctant to just fit new bearings as I doubt they will last. Also can't see any way of removing the stub axle or fitting a replacement.
If I can't find a new axle any suggestions on what my options might be?
Cheers,
MM
