GT 1100 Spindle and rims

[Wyatt56 1]

I recently picked up a 1984 GT1100 and it has a few issues i need to work on, one of them being that it has mismatched front spindles, does anyone have a part number for a replacement spindle? or a suitable replacement?

It also has a front rim with a ruined bearing in it, is there a part number for the bearing or should i just get a new rim?

That would depend on the condition of the rim. So long as a new bearing will fit snug, it should be fine to just replace the bearing. 

 

And any 3/4 flanged wheel bearing should work. I think the OD is 1.375. They are fairly universal in most cases.

Here is a parts list so you can compare spindles

 The front wheels do get where they won;t hold the bearing tight. I that problem with my C-120 tried several way to fix it and eventily destroyed the spindle. Some say you can fix it, I don't think that is posible on a working tractor with out welding inside the hub and turning back a press fit. The front spindle number 112674 came with a c-clip holding the front wheel on. Earlier in the 70's the used a tapped spindle with a 3/8" bolt, later the went to a washer and cotter key. both systems are better than the C-clip. The Raider I bought back in Feburary I took the front wheels off and all the bearing fell out. Bought some new wheels on Ebay the hubs were shorter use collars and washers on the back side to make them work.
