over60pirate 24 #1 Posted December 27, 2013 After reading about putting on bolt on hubs, with tapered roller bearings, it got me thinking. I may have deck clearance, and had an idea. Instead of boring out the stub axles, I was thinking of welding them to the front sides of the cut down axles. This would move them 3/4" forward. Wondering if this might screw up the steering? It's for a 414-8, that now has 6" rims, and a 42" rd deck. Would there be any advantage, in making the track an inch or two wider, while I'm at it? One advantage of welding the stub axle to the orig. ie I don't have a lathe, but have a welder! Thanks for any info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
