Re: [OMC-Boats] Bearings and tires

Hi all: The original tires for the 16' trailers were 8-ply with a 80# top pressure - impossible to find now. Don't know if brakes/no brakes made any difference. I pay real money for Chinese 10-ply 9" tires because with them my '68 is low enough to fit through a standard 7' high garage door - saves me $100 storage fee in the winter. I have to pay to store my '69. This place lists the 10-ply online although I haven't purchased from them: http://tinyurl.com/6-90x9-10-ply Of course, the Rogue and other 19' trailers had larger and heavier tires. -Doug Julien --- On Thu, 3/25/10, Don Mandelas <dmandelas@...e.com> wrote: From: Don Mandelas <dmandelas@...> Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] Bearings and tires To: "Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's" <omc-boats@...> Date: Thursday, March 25, 2010, 5:44 PM 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.
