Boat Trailer Issue - Back in Business

[wiperhunter2]

Late last week I did contact TJ Trailers in Ogden about replacement of an 'obsolete' axle, and they did have a modern replacement of the size I needed....this morning a friend and I picked it up... welded dles (new round axle vs. old square one) modern hubs and bearings, EZlube zerk fittings (we got and used the Amsoil grease), and we got it installed pretty easy...Now, check gas, check batteries, air pressure in tires, check spark plugs, etc. etc.....thanks again to :  Wando, LakePowellnut, Bduck, BovineOwner, Gone4ever, Crimson, Fishfulthinker, Walleye4, Tin Can, MSM, Jonesy, Packfan, DuBob, IceJunkie, and Wiperhunter....for your response and suggestions......FYI.....the guy at TJ Trailers still recommended taking system apart at the end of each season to check bearings and re-pack, even with 'modern' system and water resistant grease....Hope to see you on the water....

That was quick, glad it worked out so well for you, I think most folks that sell you bearing or axles like that will always err on the side of caution when telling you to repack your bearing every year but it really depends on how often you use it, IMO. How often where you doing it on your old axle?
