I'm currently in Papua New Guinea and am working on a heavy duty trailer that was made many years ago out of a CCKW with Timken axles. Can anybody tell me where I can get the following parts:

1. all new wheel bearings

2. new center nuts, (I mean the ones that hold the whole wheel together right smack in the middle.)

3. the appropriate locks for the center nuts

Thanks!

Have fun with that. You need to contact:
Frank von Rosenstiel 705 437 3757 vonrosenstiel@globalserve.net

He advertises the Jimmy stuff in Military Vehicles and Supply Line

Bearings may need to come from a supplier like Motion Industries or VXB

Thanks NDT--the bearings have a Timken number on them, (I don't have them in front of me right now, so I can't give the number out here), but do you think that they might still be available from a Timken supplier?

Bearings can come from any bearing supplier, not just a Timken dealer. On some of the WWII numbers, they may not have them on the shelf, but can be ordered. Tapered roller bearings have not changed much over the years. I guess your problem is finding a local source where you are right now. That's why I suggested an internet supplier (VXB) that may ship internationally. BTW, these bearings will be about $70 for the cage and $30 for the race.

Hey, just wanted to say that Frank was very helpful and had all the parts I needed for this job--I ended up getting the bearings at NAPA, but all the other parts came from Frank in original 1950's US Army packaging. I highly recommend him! Now this old trailer can soldier on for another 60 years...
