[OMC-Boats] FW: Bearings and tires

I'm gonna send Richard and Chuck a cigar!
Thankyou, that is exactly the information I was hoping to receive.
I'm going to head to my local Bearing retailer tommorow.
 
Now, in order to nail this Evinrude/Johnson trailer information to the wall I'm going to recap what I've learned so far;
 
Regarding the 1967 Evinrude/Johnson 16 foot trailer (with tortion suspension)(manufactured without brakes) the following apply.
 
Hub is 4 post
 
Tire size is 6.90 x 9
 
Originally had 10 ply nylon tires. (rated for a maximum of ???? pounds)
 
Fairly easily available today are 6 ply tires which are rated for a maximum of 1120 pounds each (and this makes them a bit overloaded for hauling a 67 sportsman boat).
 
Trailer will accept tire size St175/80D-13 but the original trailer hub will need to be machined slightly to accept this new tire size and it's corresponding new rim. (BC Howk is this a 4 or 5 hole rim?)
 
Or, another Option is to replace the whole axle assembly with a new modern torflex axle and its corresponding components.

 
Inside Bearing
Seal (hub) = OMC part 901288 (C/R 12124 Seal)

Bearing cup (Race) = OMC part 900474 (Temken part L44610)

Bearing cone (Bearing) = OMC part 975596,
(According to Chuck, = Temken part L44643) ?
(According to Richard, = Temken part L44649) ?
 

Outside Bearing

Bearing cup (Race) = OMC part 900474 (Temken part L44610)

Bearing cone (Bearing) = OMC part 975596,
(According to Chuck, = Temken part L44643) ?
(According to Richard, = Temken part L44649) ?

Tire size 6.90 x 9 10 ply cost;
Around $80.00 in Denver
 
Tire size 6.90 x 9 6 ply cost today 6-24-2010;

Tire size ST175/80D-13 by nanco......good, cheap, common trailer tires on 13 inch wheels....fit nicely under the stock trailer with origional fenders (with slight modifications to Original Evinrude Trailer Hubs)
Cost is approximately ???.
 
Have I got this right?
 
Thanks for all the information,

Don.
