My guess is 7 or 8k, but that's a guess. Can you tell what size the axle tube is? If it's 3" probably 7k.

Looks kinda strange, the bolt pattern looks small. It's hard to read the tire size but I think I can see 17.5 on it. Standard 8 on 6.5 wheel for comparison.

Perhaps this Dexter axle:

It looks like an 8k. Is the rating on the tire high enough to support that idea?

No idea. Just got it as part of a package deal with HDD rig. Working on getting everything right on the trailer. They've been driving it around for 2 years with expired tags, no running lights and no brakes. It's amazing the short cuts some of these guys take.

I got the brakes working before I drove it home. Getting it inspected in the morning.

I agree, it is not a 10k, the hub is smaller. Looks a lot like my 8k Lippert axle. My 8k Dexter is a little different.

The Lippert looks to be the same size, but the OPs axle is a Dexter.

Are there any tags/stampings on axle tube?
