1.5"ID Red Front Wheel Rubber HUB CAPS


These are available in RED, Black and Ivory/White and will fit every 1.5" wheel hub, including many of the trailers and implements.  [11/24/14: Just figured out how to make these Hub Caps in two colors, not a painted logo but all cast rubber, be sure to tell me your color choice; Black logo on White hub cap, White on Red, White on Black, all solid Red, etc.  - Upper spindle caps shown on right.]
Up to 1964 Wheel Horse used a 15/8" Hub, (we have those Hub Caps also, same price), if the Wheel was replaced, it was probably with a 1.5" hub. Wheel Horse first introduced Red hubs about 1967, the Black and the Ivory/White were only offered for a few years, & as an option until their inventory ran out.
Our Reproduced Logo Hub Caps will also come with a pair of 1.4"ID Black or Red "Upper Spindle Caps" (tell me which, otherwise our color choice) to fit over the upper axle end, (see far right in the photo). From the top is where most of the dust, dirt & water can get down & in. These are all 'fresh', newly made parts by us here in our home in mid-MI.
The logo we use is about 30% larger than the original (top are original smaller size). The majority of original factory Hub Caps used were solid RED. Be sure to measure your Hub size, these fit onto a 11/2"OD Hub. 
A pair of the 11/2"ID Logo Rubber Hub Caps (any color) with the Black or the Red upper spindle caps is just $20,  be sure to tell me if you want the Black or the Red uppers, and which color Logo Hub Caps; Red, Black, White or which 2-color;  otherwise we'll send you Red.  Hub Caps are best installed on a warm day, as warm plastic is much more flexible & soft; caution, older 20-30 year old plastic & rubber can be very brittle to remove & re-install, use 'plastic restorer' first and be very warm, even 100ºF when installing.  The "inner ridge" will keep these new rubber Hub Caps on snug.  We also have the smaller 1.25"ID Hub Caps available in the same color choices and price (but with no uppers); the 1.62"ID and 2"ID are available in solid Red only, same price.  [Hub Caps are small, often rubber, and cover only the small spindle hub, usually 1 to 2" diameter, often called dust caps –– a Wheel Cover is usually chrome and covers the larger metal wheel].

 

$20 /pair, includes the uppers, plus $3.50 First Class shipping.

 

Note: -- extra Black or Red UPPER 1.4"ID Spindle caps are: $1 @, or 6/$5 or 12/$8  (plus shipping, usually about 50¢ more/dozen, with an order).  

..........[We also have this same plain style in 1.62"ID and 1.5” Red or black), 1.62” is the size used on most other brands of GT's for front wheel Hub Caps, for $2@, 6/$10 or 12/$16]

Indicator Gas Gauge  LENS CAP

 

 

Replaces the original 113/16"OD clear indicator Gas Gauge Lens of your Kelch or Bemis 6" gauge that has probably yellowed and cracked over time to the point where you cannot see the dial.  Simply remove your old lens and glue in this new one with 2-3 drops of glue.  The small Vent Hole is located out the side of the small raised center dome, going out horizontal, to almost eliminate the chance of any dust or water from getting in.  If your float is still OK, why spend $15 for an entire new gauge. This offer is for the Epoxy lenses only, not the gauges shown. The lenses are 98+% translucent and will fit any Kelch, Bemis or similar (21/2"OD cap) with any length stem and many other brands of Garden Tractors use this same indicator gas cap lens.

 

These Lenses are $5 each,    plus $3.50 first class shipping (for up to six lenses).  (Dec. '17)

Dashboard Indicator Warning Lenses

These were mainly used on the 80's and later 200, 300, 400 and 500-series tractors, the dash has five red warning lights.  Because the rubber bushing holding them in dries & cracks, the plastic lenses often fall out and are lost (rubber restorer annually, or rubber cemented in will reduce this).  We have both the correct lenses and bushings (colored lenses, same $), mix-or-match:  $1@ or 10/$8 (+shipping).  (Always insert the rubber bushing fully in, first)                                     [03/28/17]
