Boat Trailer Axle Repair Business Name Needed

[BuckShotJon]

I cringe to even ask but does anyone know a specific business around Rochester that can get all the parts for a new axle. (I have heard of some place on Jefferson Rd, but don't know the name)

I need spindles, the axle itself, hubs, bearings, springs and even tires. Basically everything.

Went to re pack the bearings for the first time and low and behold the last owner must have lost a wheel at one time, funny he never said so. Glad I found it now instead of on the road....

Don't say Ballantyne Marine because they are dropping the ball as we speak.

Jon,
It sounds like you need a new trailer.  By the time you buy all the indivudal items you listed plus labor.  It may be cheaper going "new".

Jon,

Bummer man. That sucks. Sounds like you need the whole thing. I don't know of any shops that specialize in that area but when I built my boat trailer I bought my axle and springs from either JC Whitney or Harbor Freight Tools mail order. Can't remember which. It was like 7 years ago or something.

It came with the standard 1" axle and Timken bearings, bearing buddies, spindles, hubs, rims and tires, and lug nuts. The leaf springs and long U-bolts were a sperate order but were from the same company. Pretty sure everything including shipping was around $275.

Hope this helps in some way. If you can't find a shop. Give them a try.

Northern tool is a good one as said above I think Tractor supply has complete sets in their stores, there is a place in Farmington also hook rd or beaver creek rd. Seagar marina at the pier on Canandaigua. Good luck

Jon, a little drive for you, but you can try Davis' Trailer World at the intersection of routes 20 and 36 in the town of York.  I had them price an axle for my Stratos I had a couple years ago and the price didn't seem bad.  I only had a bent axle, and didn't end up fixing it, but the price wasn't bad.

Noel, Never thought about Davis...I drive by there sometimes to see my bud in York. I will keep it in mind if this ever happens again, which with all brabd new now it should not for a while.



I have the solution all in place now and the parts will all be here in 1-2 days. Should be ready by the weekend after I put the mess back together. Thanks again guys!

The boat does not like being in the air on cider blocks, Somehow I can hear her saying that to me.

You may want to try Brads Trailer on Lyell Ave Rochester, just east of 390. They are a big operation.
