G'day Glen,
Yeah, I guess that's why I slipped the word "usually" in there... There's always an exception .. (Then again,
mine might be the exception;-))
What I described is accurate in relation to my trailer, which has the axle shafts machined to 1 3/8" (yes, parallel;-)) to take the Ford 68149 bearings all round (inner & outer)..
The trailer that this (current) one replaced was similar in that the shafts were again machined parallel, only on that one they were machined to 1 1/4" to take the 67048 Holden inners..
As you point out, the OD of the outer race (cup) for both these bearings is the same (2 5/16")...
I wonder how many more different configurations there are out there?
It would seem that there are a few axle makers who have to be 'different' just for the sake of it;-)
