classicdmax 190 #1 Posted September 8, 2016 I purchased and just received 2 front rims from a forum member here. Upon inspection I noticed the hubs are slightly different....being one seems to have bearings, as the other has plastic/poly bushings. I think I'd prefer the bearings for obvious reasons, my question is, can I purchase wheel bearings for said wheel or am I looking at tracking down another wheel to match. I have what seems to be 1 oem wheel on the machine now, but don't have time to yank it off to check hub type until the weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,408 #2 Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) 1 3/8 x 3/4 bearings work in most front rims. Knock the bushings out & install bearings. Edited September 8, 2016 by achto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,154 #3 Posted September 8, 2016 Most common are 1 3/8 OD with a 3/4 bore. Use a long rod and a hammer to remove them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregg'shorses 77 #4 Posted September 8, 2016 A well made bearing is available at Napa , it might need to be special ordered part # 7-04292 . http://www.primelinepe.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
classicdmax 190 #5 Posted September 8, 2016 My ocd got the best of me, so I yanked the existing wheel ....it does have a bearing as opposed to bushings. Whilst it was off I decided to aggravate myself and pry the tire off. now the plan is to have them blasted so I can get paint on them. Think I'm gonna go black as I think the white will stand out too much on a patinad tractor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
