Pullstart 59,864 #26 Posted January 6, 2020 Maybe we should compare left vs right... maybe our tractor’s spindles were switched at birth, had the same owner at one time, or just dumb luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, when you get done with this project, make sure you install plastic/rubber hub caps on both wheels. There's several options available, it just depends on how much you want to spend. Glen Pettit, and Wheel Horse Parts & More, both vendors on this forum, carry a good variety of high quality parts, and they're both very good people to work with. I'm also personally a fan of the upper spindle caps that Glen carries, I think they do a lot to keep dirt and moisture out of the steering system. Could you tell me how to get ahold of Glen? As in, does he have a website to order from? I saw his ad here, but no website, and i cant remember where i saw the logo stamped dust caps for sale directly...

tunahead72 2,346 #31 Posted January 7, 2020 Yep, right here: https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/31908-04-rubber-hub-caps-lenses-6-items-here/ The hub caps are described in posts #1 (higher quality) and #4 (less expensive) there. He describes how to order at the bottom of that first post. It looks like some of his photos have been lost, but I can vouch for their good looks and quality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,864 #32 Posted January 7, 2020 Glen had a stroke in the past year or two and some of his timing has been extended if you will. He’s a great guy and so far it seems like you’re not in the biggest need to get this tractor back up and fully functional... just be patient with his response time. I feel like he may be one of the heavy contenders as to why my girls are so excited about going to shows, and being involved with the hobby. He had a booth at our first show/meet and greet/plow day and insisted on them finding a few trinkets and whatnot to take, but wouldn’t allow any payment but a thank you and some cute little smiles! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you mean this; here's the only pics i have @ the moment...dunno if they'll show the difference in sides real well, but it is there... The other is just to show the parts holding each wheel on, on each side, as i pulled them. Yea; already knew i needed new dustcaps, lol Edited January 7, 2020 by 12Horse Paladin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #37 Posted January 7, 2020 Looks like you have a clip on oneside and a bolt on the other.Two different spindles maybe? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL! my wifes old rj when i was working on it someone instead of putting the c clips back on to hold the front wheels they drilled out the spindle and had a tiny bolt to hold the wheels on. i fixed it and put it back the way it was supposed to be.
