A little quick and easy hub swapping

[rustyoldjunk 127]

The C81 that I just recently got only really had one issue,a funny looking hub repair. As I leaving the shop this evening,I thought I would take a look. Which then led to a quick hub swap. Once the tractor was jacked up I could turn the hub 2 inches or so back and fourth on the axle before it would stop. The hub was held in place with a collar and set screw on each side. I had a older set of hubs on the shelf so it doesn't match the other side but it has good hubs on both sides now. I was amazed when I got the hub off,the axle and key were both fine.

I did put the pictures in the correct order but luckily the computer/forum has decided to jumble them for fun when I posted.

Hard to believe it didn't booger up the axle, that hub is probably the worse I've seen that was still in one piece! Good job getting it back together.

I've never seen one worn that bad Rusty.  Good thing is that it came off easy right?

I wouldn't have. If anything I would have taken a 8 speed that is already out that I have laying around and swapped it in.
