thanks I don't know if mine is military or civilian trailer, but seals did not come up under a search at advance for about 15 different years of jeeps. Now this research was performed by a man less than 25 years of age. Took the seal to a place that sells seals and bearings this afternoon and he said the seal was a old ford number. I never did like fords but I guess a seal is a seal. haha Thanks everybody for your help. Brake shoe problem, rivits are showing and the cable is stuck on one side. Thanks Ed

: I have two bantam trailers. 1 Civilian, 1
: military. I've not done the bearings on them
: but was also under the assumption that these
: were standard bearings used on the model
: 25/27 Dana frontend. The hubs appear to be
: the same and I would be VERY surprised if
: the military had spec'd different
: bearings/seals between the jeep and trailer.

: There were many manufactures of these
: trailers. Bantam ( I think thats right) was
: one. I have a Dunbar (another brand) for
: sale and I also have a Vietnam era M-416
: Mutt trailer that was made by the American
: Air Filter Corporation. Anyway if yours has
: round fenders it's probably an
: M-100 1/4 ton trailer (the M-416 trailer has
: square fenders) As for parts, I had always
: understood that the hubs, bearings,seals
: etc. were the same as early military Jeep.
: Unless someone else has better info.,I would
: start contacting military Jeep parts houses,
: try a web search. There are many parts
: houses that sell nothing but military parts.
: Good Luck.
