I need a hub with dust cover for a Sears wagon from around 1945. It has hubs marked EWC that are a bolt type (9/16 X 18). The dust cover must be in good shape for a restoration. The number on the hubs looks like Q415. I also could use a set of good bearings, about 10 original wheel bolts, and some rims. Does anyone know what the original tire size and tread was? Will purchase trailer for good parts.

I can't quite figure out what type of wagon you have as your description is not any where close to type of hub on my 1946 model Sears wagon that Dad bought new in 46

The hay/whatever trailer is by description from this board a David Bradley or Cobey trailer that is steered with tierods. I can send photos if you will send me your email address. My email is [email protected]. What I have learned from this and other boards is that there were a lot of different hubs made by EWC. Mine are a five hole bolt type just like the front of most older tractors. The dust cover has a a base dia of about 3 3/4" and a height of about 2 3/4". It has 2 3/6 slot head screws 180 degrees apart at the base of the cover securing it to the hub. I have been told by a guy on ebay that my running gear would be a 4 ton trailer.

email at [email protected] but it still does not sound like a Sears, what is the size of the bolt pattern and center hole of wheel, Sounds more like a Wards, Does it have tapered roller bearings or straight roller bearings in the wheels? I have a David Bradley that has a large hub like that but it is a 5'th wheel type and was on steel. I question if it has that large a dust cap if a standard 5 1/2" bolt circle with 4 1/2" center hole wheel as Sears, David Bradley had would go over the dust cap , or if it is a bigger center hole. Some internationals had a bigger hub like that but then they used a larger center hole as well but were more bolt holes

Baum Hydraulics at Omaha lists hubs, caps, and bearings for Electric Wheel. Bearings are generally marked with a maker's part number that Baum or any good bearing shop can probably find replacements for them. You will need seals to fit also.

Wagon gear is often sold without tires. Rims could be whatever fits the hubs, whether 5 bolt or 6 bolt.

6:00-16 was a popular post war tire size for cars and used car tires were popular on wagons.

5 bolt and 6 bolt rims for farm implements and wagons can be had for 15 and 16" diameters in various widths. Likely 5 or 5.5" wide for 6:00-16 tires.

Thank you, I will contact them tomorrow. In the mean time if anyone has these odd lug bolts with the dish-out in the center, original period rims (5 lug), or a good hub with all the bolt holes in good shape please let me know.

There have been at least three standards for 5 bolt rims since WW2. Farm wagons take a larger bolt and center hole than Ford or GM rims which don't interchange. You have to know center pilot hole diameter, bolt circle diameter, and wheel offset to begin to shop for rims. Another source of hubs, a few bearings, caps, and rims is Shoup. www.shoupparts.com

Checked Baums web site and they do not have a dust cover for the EWC hub. Anyone out there with one? Its a tall sucker, about 3 inches, and held in with a screw.
