Tires? Axles? Hitch? and a weird key?

A 68 trailer could have the National grease seal # 292100.

That seal was an OEM seal to Airstream, and it was made with a felt seal.

A auto parts store will not have that seal, or a replacement.

A replacement was made for that seal, at almost half the cost.

The replacement seal part # is 10125, and costs $22.95. It is double lipped neoprene with a spring as well.

Well I am here picking up the tradewind and it has been quite a trip- more on that later (in the appropriate forum?). Grease seals, yes indeed the coach had the original (?) 292100s. Because of the heads-up, I called and asked locally if they could get me the seal to "replace" the 292100. They didn't have them in-stock but could get them overnight. So I figured I was all set. WRONG.
I was assuming it was the same seal Inland RV had, and since I was leaving the day it was to come in, I purchased and left town. The "replacement" does NOT match. One of the dimensions is off- so no go. But oh well. We are "stuck" here until they come overnight FROM INLAND RV and can be installed Monday.
Thank you to ANDY for providing me a way out... Now I know what I have and what I will need in the future. Oh, and where to get them!!!!!!!!!!

I was able to take the original seal to the auto parts store and match it up with one that fit. Sorry to hear you weren't so lucky! Have a safe trip home and I'm looking forward to reading the whole adventure.

I did the same at Napa. Brought them the old seal and now have the part # written down somewhere. Most cities have a Napa somewhere.
