mavfreak 11 #2 Posted March 8, 2010 B) woking it to hard maybe but they'll take alot you'll know if its to much. It sounds to me that maybe the keyway on the shaft and/or hub is bad. if hub then you can replace that but shaft is differn't. The shaft can be replaced to but have to tear down transmission. maybe some pictures of the hub and shaft might help us. And someone else out there might have had same problem coudle give more insight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitten 133 #5 Posted March 8, 2010 Hello and As far as working it to hard I dought that, it is a Wheel Horse and they can do a lot of work. If the key ways are good check that you have two set screws on the hub, they should be 45 deg. from each other. If not you can drill and tap for one. It might be a bad set screw if so just replace. If you have a bad key way on your shaft, I have heard of people cutting a new one with a dremel. You can also take it to a machine shop and they can do it. If the key way on the hub is bad the machine shop might be able to fix it but another hub isn't to bad to come bye. Good luck with it and make your late father-in-law proud.

Coadster32 793 #6 Posted March 8, 2010 I will echo what bitten haas stated. I have machined new keyways without taking the tranny apart. BTW- B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,921 #7 Posted March 8, 2010 My B-100 has 2 sets of set screws on each hub. The set screws are placed at 90 degrees from each other, not 45. Each set screw has a lock nut run onto it before screwing it into the hub. After the set screw is torqued down, the lock nut is then tightened down. This prevents the set screw from backing out. Torque value on set screws is 28 - 35 ft. lbs. Bob ps. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck with it and make your late father-in-law proud. have replaced one hub last year look like another one this year. Have thought about drilling a second set screw hole and going into the axle with this one any thoughts about this idea? shaft look good have small work shop at house so may see what i can do as far as drilling Thanks JIM B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
