🔧 Product Description

Genuine Mackay Marine Trailer Products Bearing Buddy USA Heavy-Duty LandCruiser-Hub Protectors – Pair – Part Number: A1306

A pair of genuine USA-made Bearing Buddy protectors sized for compatible heavy-duty LandCruiser-pattern and 2-tonne-class trailer hubs. The larger protector body matches the applicable heavy-duty hub bore.

⚙️ Key Features

  • Spring-loaded bearing-protector design maintains positive grease pressure
  • Helps reduce water entry through the hub seal during launching and retrieval
  • Suitable for routine greasing without removing the hub cap
  • Supplied as a matched pair for one axle
  • Marine-trailer service component

📏 Specifications

  • Fitment: Heavy-duty LandCruiser/50–65mm axle hub family; confirm press-fit diameter
  • Press-fit diameter must match the hub bore exactly
  • Grease type must be compatible with the existing hub grease
  • Do not over-pressurise the hub or force grease past the rear seal

📋 Supplied Components

  • 2 × Heavy-duty Bearing Buddy protectors

🔄 Cross Reference & Related Parts

  • Dunbier cross reference: 1781
  • Standard-size Bearing Buddy pair: Mackay A1304 / Dunbier 1780
  • PVC protector covers: Mackay A1307-2 / Dunbier 1782 where size matches

🚤 Compatibility & Application

  • Compatible trailer hubs with the exact protector press-fit diameter
  • Measure the hub bore rather than relying only on axle size
  • Install squarely without striking or distorting the spring piston
  • Inspect and service wheel bearings independently; a protector does not repair damaged bearings

🔌 Function

Maintains positive grease pressure in heavy-duty trailer hubs to help keep water away from the bearing cavity.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Protector is loose in the hub bore
  • Spring piston is seized or will not accept grease
  • Grease or water leaks around the protector
  • Cover is missing and contamination builds around the piston
  • Hub continues to take excessive grease because the rear seal has failed

📦 Condition

  • Genuine Mackay Marine Trailer Products part
  • Brand new
  • Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
