New axles may not fit all older sub-frames

If the axle label is missing, Dexter engraves the axle serial number on each axle. I gave Dexter the serial number off of one of Ollie's axles a few years ago and Dexter emailed this axle spec sheet back to me. With this information a Dexter dealer should be able to supply an axle built to original specifications.

It took awhile, but I finally found pictures of my axle label and although I had several pictures I wondered why they all had the same serial number.  I went under the Ollie and found that I only had 1 label and it was on the rear axle.  I then found the engraved SN for the front axle and it was the same as the rear, which I thought was weird.  So I emailed that information to Dexter asking for an as built sheet and if tandem axles should have the same SN.  Dexter sent back a single build sheet and never addressed my question about the same SN on both axles.

So the question that I now have is if anyone else has the same SN's on both axles and if that is Dexter's standard practice?

The attachment is for 2017 LE2 #193 which has the original suspension equipment

Mossey,

I only looked at one axle and assumed 🫤 they had two different SN's, never thought two axles would have same serial number. 😐 Will check my axle SN's during the first part of August, making one more modification to the F-150 before towing Ollie during the first part of August.

My axle labels are nearly destroyed by road & weather.  I'll see what numbers I can see engraved somewhere.

I found the SN engraved on the rear side of the axle near the center.  Take a damp rag and a flashlight with you and wipe the axle down, it should be visible.  Mine was close to where the label used to be.

@jd1923 has shown me the trees beyond the forest.  I was not "getting it".  Now I think I do.  So maybe OTT can special order the size of axles for my trailer and install them getting all the upgrades I want at once.  Hmmm.

I will get my serial numbers off my axles soonest.

That would be very convenient if Oliver will order your axles!

Please post your axle build sheet when you get it! I can update the list, if needed.
