Replacing a missing trailer spare-tire mount is easier once you identify the original bracket design. Dutton-Lainson's 22128, 22120 and 22145 all carry a spare wheel, but the first is a long U-bolt and the others are offset steel bracket assemblies. The supported rim sizes and frame measurements also differ.

Identify the mount by model number and shape

MPN / Model Design Nominal wheel sizes Rim holes Trailer tongue
22128 (6220) Long U-bolt tire holder 8, 9 or 12 in 4 or 5 hole rims Extra length for wider tongues; measure actual opening
22120 (6121) Raised offset spare-tire bracket 9–14 in 4 or 5 hole rims Rectangular tongues up to 3 in wide × 5 in tall
22145 (6126) Extra-offset spare-tire bracket 13–15 in 5 or 6 hole rims Rectangular tongues 2–3 in wide × 3–5 in tall

22128 (6220) is the extended U-bolt style, supplied with nuts for specified 8-, 9- or 12-inch rims. 22120 (6121) is a welded offset bracket with a 4½-inch side and 4¾-inch upward offset, suitable for the manufacturer's stated 9–14-inch wheel sizes. 22145 (6126) is a larger extra-offset bracket designed for specified 13–15-inch, 5- or 6-hole rims.

Confirm the exact wheel and tongue dimensions. Manufacturer wheel sizes refer to nominal rim diameter, not outside tire diameter. Hole count alone does not confirm wheel bolt-circle compatibility, and a rectangular-tongue specification does not mean a carrier automatically fits a round or unusually shaped trailer frame. Check clearance around the boat, coupler, winch post and ground.

What to check on the old mounting position

  1. Look for the full part number: 22128, 22120 or 22145. The older product-series names 6220, 6121 and 6126 can help, but use the exact manufacturer designation when ordering.
  2. Inspect the bracket layout: a simple U-bolt differs from the welded elevated bracket and the extra-offset bracket. Do not assume that an existing mounting plate can be reused with another design.
  3. Measure the trailer tongue: record actual width, height, hole locations and any obstruction near the intended mounting point. The two offset models have different stated tongue-size limits.
  4. Measure the wheel: count bolt holes, measure the bolt circle and record the nominal rim size. Confirm whether the wheel fits the manufacturer-specified mounting arrangement.
  5. Check retained hardware: the offset carriers include mounting hardware and have a locking hole; the simpler 22128 has mounting nuts. Inspect rust, distortion and fastener condition before reuse.
  6. Verify clearance before travel: a replacement must keep the tire away from the hull, coupler, frame components and roadway, with all fasteners installed according to the manufacturer.
