We can help you with finding hub/drum and brakes assemblies for your trailer.
A new hub drum needs to use the same two bearings as the one it replaces and it also needs to match the axle weight rating and the wheel bolt pattern for your wheel. I linked our main page for trailer hub/drum assemblies and on it you can click on your bolt pattern, axle rating and bearing numbers to see the hub options that are compatible.
For a hub with an inner bearing L68149 we have options for 2000-, 2200-,... view full answer...

You are on the right track for locating the correct hub and drum assembly for your 1977 Vega Trailer. The inner and outer bearing numbers you mentioned are a big help.
We do have a large selection of hub and drum assemblies available that use the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing. In order to choose the correct replacement, you will also want to verify the bolt pattern on your existing set along with the axle capacity on your trailer.

I am happy to help point you in the right direction. With the information you provided we can certainly narrow it down. I will say that I could not find any references for the part number 030120 that you provided. So we will need to look at a few things in order to determine fitment.
All of the 8 lug hub/drums with 9/16" studs that we carry are rated for either 7,000 or 8,000 lb axles. So confirming the axle capacity would help to narrow down which hub you will need. Generally we also... view full answer...
We do have several hub and drum assemblies that fit the Titan hydraulic drum brakes like # T4442100. If you need a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern use # T1544500042.

Thank you for the clear description and photo of your Hudson utility trailer and its hubs.
You have what appear to be what we call 5-spoke utility hub/drums, part # 8-174-5UC3, shown on the linked page. With such hubs the wheels rest on the hub's outer rim. This hub is rated for use on 6K and 7K axles.
In order to change these to more standard RV hub/drums you will need to know the inner and outer bearing parts. Any alternate hub has to use the same bearings or you will need to change... view full answer...
Thank you for providing that information. Since you have a 6,000 lb axle we can narrow down the parts. However, you will still need to identify your grease seal. Unfortunately, the serial number won't help in this case since Axis Products, Inc. was sold in 2015 so no information is available.
For brakes you can use the # AKEBRK-7-SA if you need electric brakes or the # AKFBBRK-7 for hydraulic brakes. For the hub/drum assembly we have a few options based on the grease seal inner diameter... view full answer...

For brakes, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA. These self-adjusting brakes match your hub and drum assembly as well as your axle capacity.
I have attached a couple reviews and installation videos for your reference. view full answer...

The bolt pattern of your existing hubs is likely to be 5-on-4-1/2 as this is a popular configuration, but there are actually four different 5-lug bolt patterns available in our replacement hub/drum products. You can refer to the linked article on bolt patterns for help in confirming which you have on your trailer.
You'll want to select your new hubs based on this bolt pattern, your axle weight rating and your bearings. New hubs need to match up on all three to ensure they will fit on your... view full answer...
We can help you with a spare trailer hub-and-drum assembly and/or spare bearings for your trailer. Thank you for your photo.
Either way you will need to pull one of the hubs to get the part numbers from the inner and outer bearings. These part numbers will of course allow you to select the correct spare bearings but they will also help us find the correct spare hub/drum. A new hub/drum must use the same set of bearings as the one it replaces; this is how we can ensure the hub will fit... view full answer...
We do have some off-the shelf axles that exactly match the hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center distances you mentioned. We offer 3 different capacities:
For a 3500 lb axle, use # T3584F-EZ-8974. For a compatible idler hub (no brakes) use # 84545UC1-EZ for a hub/brake drum, use # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. the idler hub and the hub/drum have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern, which is common for a 3500 lb axle. For compatible brake assemblies, use # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right... view full answer...
The replacement hub/drum you mentioned, part # 8-201-5UC3 is rated for a 5200 lb axle (a de-rated 6000 lb axle). That particular hub/drum is compatible with a 25580 inner and a LM67048 outer wheel bearing. If your axle is indeed rated for 6K and uses a 25580 inner and 15123 outer wheel bearing. If that's the case, you'd need the # 8-201-9UC3-EZ hub/drum. The different outer bearing is what de-rates the hub.
The hubs include the races, bearings, grease seals, lug nuts and grease caps compatible... view full answer...
You will need the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-105-106-09 to bolt to the 4-bolt brake flange on your axle. This is a 12" x 2" brake kit that has the same offset mounting bolt pattern that you have on your current axle.
For a hub kit you will need verify if you have an EZ lube spindle and the diameter of your grease seal. You will need to remove one of the hubs to find the inner diameter of the grease seal as either a 2.125" or 2.250". The hubs come complete with bearings, races, caps... view full answer...
