Guess I had better luck. GREASE YOUR BEARINGS!!!
Well, was a skunk on the hunt, but at least I did get home ok...This was my trailer bearings after running up and down Roberts road. All I can say is, Grease your hubs if you run your trailer through water. I drove all around Harrisburg, to Memphis (to catch my sons Basketball game) and back to Harrisburg, and back to Memphis with a distinct smell every now and then of something burning, but thought it was something under my truck , because of the water being so high on Roberts Rd. When I got home and walked by my tire, it was literally leaning 6" out at the top. I guess because I was driving 75 MPH it kept the tire UPRIGHT??? SHEEEEEZZZZ....

at speed on the hwy....been there done that. Good call, repack your bearings. Contrary to popular knowledge, you're sposed to do that frequently if your hubs are getting submerged. Hopefully, new bearings and races will get you squared away.

Grover if you have any Ideas on where to find wheel hubs let me know, TSC, LOWES,I tried just because I knew they sold hubs, and they were open on Sundays. But theirs were too little. It did not ruin the spindle thank goodness, but destroyed the hub. The races stayed in tact, and in place, which saved the spindle. Don't know how that happened, but was so glad they stayed on. Someone said Deweys trailer Co. in Oakland. Was hoping somewhere closer.
Thank You Jesus!!!!
