I have a 1972 W900a tri axle dump truck. The lift axle is a Standard Forge and axle company. I can’t locate any numbers on the axle. It has Dayton hubs on it now. I am trying to convert it to Bud wheels. I am struggling with bearings, race, and seal sizes? Has anyone done anything like this and how did you get it accomplished? Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Help me figure out a hub swap

If you can figure out bearing and seal #'s, it shouldn't be hard to find a hub# on Webb's website
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -

Some manufactures back then used the same bearings races and seals on both dayton and budd type hubs. Ease of manufacture. You may get lucky that way. Only difference would have been brake hardware and set up. White Trucks did that with their in house Rockwell style axles. All the makes under their umbrella used them. Just had to find the budd hubs for that same axle for swap. Seemed back in those days everyone patterned their stuff off of the Rockwell-Standard. Eaton was not a big player in the non drive axle game yet.
