Re: [OMC-Boats] Bearings and tires

Peter,

The 6.90 x 9 inch tire mentioned in my re-cap letter for $62.14 was a quote from my local Les Schwab Tire store.

Quote:

Carlisle High Speed Trailer Tire

Size 6.90 x 9.

Bias Ply

Load Range "C" (6 ply).

Max Load 1120 at 60 PSI

There is a photo of one Listed On E-bay today (Carlisle Tire with 5 hole rim).

Wow - this summary is great - I, too, will nail it to the wall. Perhaps Phil or Lee could add it to their sites as a Sticky.
My only concern is the preassembled 12" tire and rim sets. I just checked Northern Tool and their load rating is 750.
Gemplers - 1045, Harbor Freight - 1045. Perhaps the larger tires dissipate heat more readily making them less risky than a 9 at 1,100. But what do I know?

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 (Race = Temken part L44610)

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

Outside Bearing
Bearing cup = OMC part 900474 (Race = Temken part L44610)
Bearing cone = OMC part 975596 (Bearing = Temken part L44643)

 
 
Regarding the 1967 Evinrude/Johnson 16 foot trailer (with tortion suspension)(manufactured with brakes) the following apply.
 
Hub is 5 post
 
Tire size is ____x___
 
Did these Originally have 10 ply nylon tires? (rated for a maximum of ???? pounds)
 
 
Inside Bearing
Bearing cup = OMC part 900474 (Race = Temken part L44610)
Bearing cone = OMC part 975150 (Bearing = Temken part ?????? )
Seal Brake Drum = OMC part 975149
Retainer Grease = OMC part 900521
 
Outside Bearing
Bearing cup = OMC part 900475 (Race = Temken part ??????)
Bearing cone = OMC part 975151 (Bearing = Temken part ??????)
 

 
Tires
 
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;
$62.14 each in Washington State

$125 in St. Louis.
$150 a pop in Oregon
 
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,
I appreciate it.
 
Don.
