[mark89 0]

my front axel on my lawn 62 lawn ranger apears to have brass sleeves to fit the 8in rims. the problume is they are warn wanted to know if the sleeves were wheel horse kit or home made

I'd think they are home made....My two rangers have the small axles in them.

I bet the original axles got deep groves in them ( where the bearings ride on the axles ) and someone made those brass sleeves to cover the groves and take up the slack between the wheel and axle. Only thing is brass is so soft, it will wear out in no time. Just a thought!! :thumbs:
