hotajax 223 #1 Posted June 10 (edited) Good morning: Do any of you know the McMaster stock number for the little REAR wheels for a Wheel Horse deck? I have a 48-in deck, and wheels wobbling. These wheels have a zirc fitting as well. About 6 inches in diameter for the wheels. 1/2 diameter bore for the Or at least point me to the right page for where the wheels are? Deck is for a 314-8 tractor, and wheels go on the rear of the deck, not to be confused with the anti-scalp wheels on the front of the deck. Thanks.

daveoman1966 3,752 #2 Posted June 10 The wheel 'wobble' you describe is as much a fault of the 6" wheel (hub) as the SHOULDER BOLT wear. These are from a 48" deck and ought to serve you well... Not new, but real close to that. 3/4" HEX head--- 1/2" dia shoulder---2" shoulder length---5/8" or 3/4" thread length. Put $15 (as 'money to FRIENDS') into my Paypal account for either set...$20 will get you all 4 of them. The ONLY difference is the thread length. My paypal account is: daveoman@windstream.net.

hotajax 223 #6 Posted June 10 What is an offset on these wheels? Does that mean the center hole is not lined up with the outer edge of the wheel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possiblly, but it depends on the length of the bore! A positive number means that the hub is offset from the center line to the “street” side by that distance. But this spec is often mischaracterized in ads. If correctly labeled, and assuming the length of the bore equals the width of the tread, then the TSC wheel would have the side you can see as 1-⅝ inches out from the center of a 1-¾” wide wheel -- that would make it ¾” out from the edge of the tread. Color me skeptical. If the image is correct it looks like the visible end of the bore is very close to flush with the edge of the tread.

hotajax 223 #8 Posted June 10 Thanks for the info, it's fixed. Was both a bad bolt and worn out wheel. I forgot I had ordered extra wheels about 15 years ago, and I had new shoulder bolts in the box. All set now, much appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 1,926 #9 Posted June 10 I replace the grease fitting on the gauge wheel with one that has a check ball. Pull the original fitting out with a pair of vice grips. Use a punch to straighten out the area around the hole if needed. Tap for a 1/4"-28 bolt, then screw in a new grease fitting. Much less messy when greasing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea, it seems that the grease compresses the air inside the tire and that compressed air pushes some grease back out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,150 #11 Posted June 10 I had issues with the wheels squeaking on my Recycler deck. Grease them and the squeak would come back. finally I figured out the whole bolt was spinning in the hole on the height bar. If I tightened the bolt to stop it from spinning the wheel would be too tight. So I had some custom shoulder bolts made up. The shoulder is long enough that I can put needle bearing washers on the deck side and the bolt head side and tighten the bolt fully and the wheel will spin easily. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made my own shoulder bolts using 1/2" OD, 3/8" ID tubing from Home Depot some 3/8" bolts and 5/16" flat washers which fit tight on the bolts. Works great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
