ken@100hillrock.com 8 #1 Posted October 10, 2022 I am the original owner of a 1982 Wheel Horse Dump Utility Cart 10. After 40 years the cart needs new tires and rims. I ordered the standard 15X6X6 wheels and rims with 3/4" axle. Did not fit. Measured my axle and its a full 1" thick. I cant find any stock rims that fit a 1" axle. Where can I look please?

WHX?? 48,801 #2 Posted October 10, 2022 Ken A pic or 2 would help up understand what you are dealing with. If the tub is what I think you have should have had 8 inch rims with a 3/4 axle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,177 #3 Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) A good shot of the axle measurement and one of the hub/bushing/bearing at the center of the wheel will help a lot. Meantime, give a check to be sure there isn't a ¾ ID to 1" OD bushing on a ¾" axle that has "rust welded" to the axle. And apologies for forgetting my manners....Welcome to the Forum!

Achto 27,516 #5 Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) If all else fails you could run bushings instead of bearings. Keep them greased & they will run a long time. https://bronze-online.com/products/s841bsf-3244-16?variant=30696041316398¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr5buxrfV-gIVtIlbCh1LtwX-EAQYBCABEgLWWPD_BwE Edited October 10, 2022 by Achto 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,120 #6 Posted October 10, 2022 Your axle is bolted to a crossmember on the underside of the cart. You could pick up a piece of 3/4" round stock long for an axle, drill holes for the cotter keys and bolt it in place of the 1". 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 25,503 #8 Posted October 11, 2022 Looks like 3/4” axle to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,120 #9 Posted October 11, 2022 If the new 3/4" rims won't go onto the axle you may need to file off any rust or bent over metal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ken@100hillrock.com 8 #10 Posted October 11, 2022 there is no bushing collar on the shaft. Its "way" past the OD for a 3/4 inch shaft. Its just under 1" OD for a 1" OD bearing or bushing. Thanks for the ideas. I may need to get my micrometer out to display the settings but it showed 1" OD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,177 #11 Posted October 11, 2022 Thanks for the images. I'm skeptical of anything larger than ¾" on that shaft. The end looks like it's deformed to me. The caliper on the the shaft away from the end under a bushing/bearing will tell the story. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,199 #12 Posted October 11, 2022 Clearly not 1", but more than 3/4", possibly 7/8" ? When measuring stuff like that, I don't use the hook on the end of the tape since they tend to wear. I line up the 1" mark at the start, and subtract 1 from the result. But a micrometer is best for that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ken@100hillrock.com 8 #13 Posted October 11, 2022 More pictures. So its not bearing based but bushings. The bushings form a collar over the 1" axle inside the tire sleeve - so the rim OD is BIGGER than 1". See pics provided here. On my manual micrometer, the axle with NO RUST measures 1" OD. It ran great for 40+ years...never greased...just ran. TIres dry rotted and cracked. I'm about to just get tubes ...but the tires are in such poor shape. Thoughts on the axle and what I could put on it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,177 #14 Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Well my skepticism was misplaced. Apologies! Those axles are the same diameter as the rear drive axles on many WH tractors. Any info on the rated capacity of that wagon? My cart has ¾" axles and is rated to 650--your might be 1,000. I see that your wheels are rust coated, but are they rotted or bent or other wise damaged? If not, I'm wondering if new tires alone would work (assuming you're ok with the rims as-is or were up for de-rusting and painting). Found these: https://www.amazon.com/Lapp-Wheels-Pneumatic-Wheelbarrow-Replacement/dp/B07S4F29HP/ref=sr_1_2 I think this item might be the same as the one below https://lappwagons.com/product/16-pneumatic-wheel/ (1" axle bearing is an option) Edited October 11, 2022 by Handy Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ken@100hillrock.com 8 #15 Posted October 12, 2022 The axle is not bend, rusted or damaged in any way. My friend has a 25 HP Kubota front end loader tractor and my dump trailer will take more dirt than his full scoop bucket. Its sooo rugged, I dont want to loose it or its current capacity for carrying "fun stuff" like dirt. The rims do have some surface rust on the collars of the rims. I'm thinking some JB Weld and fiberglass mesh inside and outside would work to seal the rims. Otherwise, i will just inner tube the girl and be done. Thanks on the link for Amazon and the 1" rims. I'm still looking at those. $100 and done - pretty much what i was looking at for good tires ($59 + inner tubes $21) with load rating of 640 4 ply tires. Appreciate yalls help. I need to go remeasure the inner shaft... i think its 4" versus 3"... which would make sense. This beast is much more rugged than my JD 10. But parts are harder to get.
