A-Z Tractor 244 #1 Posted October 16, 2020 A-Z Tractor is now offering an axle hub for the 1" and 1 1/8" axles. This is called a repair hub. This hub is manufactured with a tapered hub that clamps down on the axle when installed. This will help with axles that have a worn keyway and axles that might be wore from bad hubs. Also this hub is very easy to remove for future repairs. To purchase these hubs you can either call A-Z Tractor at 1-717-821-2542 or you can go on the website at a-ztractor.com and purchase them on the sight. To find the repair hub on the sight just type in the part number of the hub you are replacing or type in repair hub. When these hubs are installed properly under most conditions the hub will not turn on the shaft even if there is no key installed. These hubs sell for $110 each and when you are purchasing you have to select the correct one for your shaft size. The same mounting hub is used just a different center shaft hub for the different size shafts. 5 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,325 #4 Posted October 16, 2020 Thats brilliant! We do the same with our old hit and miss engines. No idea why this idea never crossed my mind. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,292 #5 Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) We use tapered hubs all the time for industrial electric motors like on pumps and fan drives. You figure out where the hub/pulley needs to be, slide the center piece into it and then tighten the screws. The center piece is split. The hub/pulley has a taper and as you draw it in with the screws it clamps down on the center piece clamping it to the shaft. https://dpk3n3gg92jwt.cloudfront.net/domains/bbman2/bushinginstallation.pdf Edited October 16, 2020 by squonk 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
