leeave96 490 #1 Posted January 26, 2014 Anyone know what diameter hub grease cap is for the 1 inch spindles type rims? I'm away from the house this morning and it looks like I'll be within striking distance of both a tractor supply and a northern tool. As I usually do, I remember these things when I'm about an hour from the house - LOL! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,839 #2 Posted January 26, 2014 I got a set from TSC that are made for a utility trailer. They are a whisker to big diameter, but I was able to CAREFULLY grind that whisker from the OD. It seems that theses caps almost have a FLARED-OUT open end from the forming (stamping) of them. Its a tight fit, but I finally got them on. ps..they do come off easily too.

daveoman1966 3,839 #4 Posted January 26, 2014 either 2 or 2 1/4" ..... can't rightly remember. You can, of course, buy both sizes, and return the unused ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeave96 490 #6 Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks everyone! I bought what looked like the right dust caps, 1.98 inches. Looks like they will work. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Kid 105 #7 Posted January 27, 2014 I actually have a pair of original 520H 1" steering spindle dust covers that are in pretty decent shape for sale if yours do not work for ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
