That's what @ri702bill and I both referenced. It's what the UniDrive bolts to. A dozer blade attached to the axle bracket can twist and stress the frame enough to cause considerable damage. Lots of discussion over the years here about it.
-
That was my point for @AHS earlier regarding the weights. I should have looked closer at my first c-160. Hubs, axles, and F-bracket had been mistreated over the years before I got it. Dozer blades and chains have been a red flag for me ever since, not that those are ever dealbreakers.

Ok, what is the “F” bracket? I would really like to see behind the tractor, and see if it has the plow bracket on there! I bet 100% the shift boot is barely on there, that’s one thing i always check! I’ll check the fan/steering and the frame. Now, the guys just gotta get back to me!!

Maybe find a freeze plug or pipe plug that size? -
Can one put the shaft back in from the outside to plug the hole?

418-A “The ‘Tail’ of a Horse for Cindy”
PeacemakerJack replied to PeacemakerJack's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Hey Don…sorry that I’m AWOL most of the time lately but I have been quite busy with all the travels. We just returned yesterday from a few weeks of missions work in the Dominican Republic. It was a great working with the youth through several outreaches including a Teen Conference, a Vacation Bible School, and a basketball tournament. Regarding your question…Cindy loves her wheel horse (418-A) and uses it regularly throughout the summers. It works great for the needs at hand including mowing the pasture for her horses, hailing her yard cart to do various yard chores. She told me that she doesn’t know how she got along without it all those years. She is such a sweet lady and I’m glad that the Lord brought along the perfect tractor for her and I got to be part of that process. I’ll try to get a picture of her using it sometime this summer and post it… -

Are yours mounted on a rim and inflated any? I do like how the BKT's tread is a flatter on the edges then the deestones. Both tires on are the same size rim and should be close to the same psi. -
After studying the situation, I've decided that I only need to replace one board on the hinge side. The sides are actually two boards sistered together. The one the hinges are attached to (which is one of them that I replaced years ago) was the one that insects decided to eat. I had to remove the whole wooden frame as a unit. The three boards in the first picture shows the one I am replacing on the right, the sister that goes behind in the middle and the left is the new board I am working on, It's an seasoned cedar (juniper), straight grained, knot free and hard. The two hinges are backed with metal brackets from the factory. The split in the middle board was filled with epoxy. The second picture shows the new board and it's backer board. I'm free hand routing the new board. I rough cut and held it in place scribing the body metal that wraps around the board. I spent a good deal of time trying to locate the hinges both by clamping the two boards together and aligning the holes used to attach the hinges, drilling pilot holes for the hinges by placing the new board along side of the door and finally measuring the opening. I can's say for sure that ever swung like I hope to make it this time. I've raised the door ~3/16 of an inch hoping it aligns with the striker better. Unfortunately, the door slipped and fell breaking the tear drop tail light lens that are specific to sedan deliveries. Fortunately I have a NOS still in the box in the glovebox for the past 50 years. Things that make you go HMMMMM.

418-A “The ‘Tail’ of a Horse for Cindy”

I know this is an old post and we haven’t heard from @PeacemakerJack in a while, but I was wondering how this 418-A is doing? I think he goes away on missions for months at a time? -
But yet I had to cut one off on the C81 I purchased from Sparky..... Sometimes, the red weld wins. This one had walked inward & rotated the key...

Couple coats of primer on.

Interesting how yours are so much narrower than mine. I have a set that measures 9.5 inches across. -
It's 1974 or 75 over 50 years old not likely you'll find two tight hubs.
