OK no extra charge for the fine patina. My last one you better hope I don't need this for a project. Check the package 'cause I gotta push it in a hole. The package is already sealed and was supposed to go out yesterday but RJG forgot to go to the post office...

I may have one too. Ya know Squonky you can make one easily enough if you know the length. I'm sure you have z bend pliers. I think I used wire from a throttle cable. Lemme know if Randy bones ya I'll slip it in the t shirt package.

I did not find one but I did find a way to modify my disk to work with the sleeve hitch

As always, Red Square crew comes through. I now have hitches lined up for the 2 tractors that need them. Thanks @davidtmercer and @ebinmaine!

The center pin presses out. I just did one on my 551. @76c12091520h K & B horse parts sells new Heavy duty pullies that are excellent!

What kind of thread pattern are you looking for? That does seem a little high but not for some styles like Firestone 23 ags. Tire prices have skyrocketed in recent years. I don't think I've ever saw or shopped for them in the 9.50 flavor but here's a set. Mainly 8.5 and 10.5. are most common which you should be able to easily run. https://www.millertire.com/23x9-50-12-rubber-master-turf-4-ply-tire/ Hers a set of Dees in 8.5 ags affordable & free ship. Probably not much more in 10.5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/353061325940?_skw=23+8.50+12+tire&epid=9073595196&itmmeta=01K5J87Y1AXD0KF3Q0P8FVVB4K&hash=item5234184c74:g:UpwAAeSw0o5n6opR&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1d11yFgEzj4aj%2Blqc0ua%2Bjo4wxH%2FcDHuLeHYfDTvJ%2BewObf40j8b9P%2BBHvd94betbqiJxSJpZ%2FaZU3yHSk6Y%2B9%2F58ydz4YPWMOWdweFdE%2BpQz6snT5HlCLlUP4Cn8uglQWe56O8kZRP4eGmiZNaQ4NRKWj1%2F6%2Fyx6W7h%2BvkbL9LYjt7bA2pBQOS0afqUsSXyZzsj9bUTi0tOETirNPwZ8RzSQXOBXF%2F6SdqGrbHhMv%2BtQZlkig5Tf20QMx0BKZUHBJDT67kOmhENnga4bKBZaYaKrngHXHIKh61rLphlPzVug%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMuOGfyKxm

had a 36 rd on a C165 --- wish i still had it - - terrific little mower - - makes great cut on lawn -- I just got another old 36 that i have stripped down -- about to go to sandblaster to clean off rust then needs 2 new spindles - - then prime and paint - - they seem to be hard to find -- especially without rust holes in shells

Nope struck out. I have one left but need it. Go fish on the hex piece as well. See your other thread ... looks like Ed dog has the arm tho. Makes great sense David but I have this purist addiction.

If that doesn’t work out let me know and I’ll look around as well.

let me scrounge around, I think I might have something

You may want to consider eliminating all of those parts you are needing and convert to a mule drive instead. Reference attached PDF files for two options. I have a couple of the 8-5551 kits available for sale if interested. MULE DRIVE UPGRADE (2).pdf Hitch Front 1972 8-5541 & 1973 8-5551 OM IPL.pdf

hi don, no I.D. tag on the raider. so i do not know the model number. regards mike

It is hard to see, but it's there.

No problem. I'm in the UK, so anyway it's difficult to get Wheel Horse parts, so I'm always looking in the USA. If they don't complete let me know. Thanks

WHAT A DEAL !!!!!

@Chrishar I've ground the rivets out with a Dremel. The bearing is available from a NAPA. I've reassembled them with small socket head bolts. Also, @WHX?? has a setup to replace the bearing and reassemble them with rivets for a complete factory look. I had him do a couple for me.

Thank you @davidtmercer for hooking me up with a nice differential and hubs!

Yes, the axle tolerance is about .005 under for these tapers. I had an axle that was almost ten under and the hub would slide around. I did get those hubs to work. I blocked the back of the hub with a piece of bar steel, taped (not hammered) the taper in, re torque the bolts, and repeated several times until the taper flange was almost up-against the hub. Has been holding on the xi machine with fluid filled tires over a year now. after before giving it an extra bump.

Based on my records, the 418-a is a 1987 model. The owners manual specifies 9.50 wide. I have purchased tractor tires from Miller Tire and was very satisfied.

The axles on my 1976 C-120 Auto are shot. Unless you come across an easier solution, you're going to have to open the case and pull the axles. If it was me and the keyway is the only issue, I would have new keyways cut 180* from the originals. I've done that before and just used straight 1/4" keys. Just don't cut them at 90* or you might lose where you need to have the second set screw.

As strange as it may seem, you could consider buying an entire, possibly non-running, tractor to get one. Note here the models that had 5060 or 5071.

Okie dokie. I'll take a look when I get home. I have a 1976/7 B80 chassis. Not at all sure what it has for a steering wheel.

Thanks Eric but I'd really prefer one like (or close to) either of the two I pictured. One is the original on my 76 and the other is unknown that I replaced the original on the 2005. I just edited the posting to remove the Toro wheel. I've pretty much decided to get rid of that tractor so there's no need to swap the wheel.

I'll take a poke around the workshop later today. Any interest in the smooth plastic type from the early '80s?

Have you checked here: https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/?s=Hose&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1

you don't say where you are, or what is reasonable ? 1 hr, 2 ,3, 4 etc - One persons reasonable is someone else's unreasonable!

Thanks, Gary. Are you interested in a copy of the 1974 parts manual for the 42" and 48" side-discharge mower decks? (5-1011-42" 5-1211-48")? I would gladly scan and forward them if they would be helpful.
