Thanks Bill!

I spoke with John at Border Parts. He knew exactly what trailer I have and
says he has everything in stock. I faxed him the list.

One other way to attack this Robert is to pull the parts and go to a bearing
distributor. They can take measurements and derive a part number by working
backwards. I have had reasonably good luck at my local NAPA outlet doing
this.

The Timken part numbers are still good and any industrial bearings house
such as Bearings Inc should be able to order a set for you.
While you are there, give them the seals and they may be able to cross it.
For the gasket, Garlok and an exacto knife, or RTV.

Per Bill's suggestion, I contacted John at Border Parts in Spring Valley CA.
He is familiar with the WWII Willys MBT and Bantam BT3 jeep trailers, also the
Korean War era M-100. Not only that, he has everything I need in stock.
Genuine Timken and Spicer, no imported junk. Good customer service and very
reasonable prices. (Even if I did tell him that I know Bill.)

Bill was correct. John is a great source for "real jeep" parts.
