Input seal is SKF 6105, the brake seal is SKF 7410, and the 1" axle seals are SKF 9815.

 

So those are part numbers that would be used by say NAPA, CARQUEST, ADVANCE AUTO, etc... and not TORO/ WHEEL HORSE numbers ?

Gonna have to have this-I’m gonna call it a King Pin- part welded...

 

I think those came from the factory broken! Every one I own had to be welded!

 

That transmission looks great! Can't wait to see the whole tractor!

Correct

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,043]

Notice the SKF/Chicago Rawhide part numbers are relative to the shaft size.

Add a decimal to the front and you get the approximate shaft size in inches.

 

Input seal is SKF 6105 (.6105") 5/8" is .625"

Brake seal is SKF 7410 (.7410") 3/4" is .750"

Axle seals are SKF 9815 (.9815") 1" is 1.00"

Been called many things, but never that LOL! 

 

I think the work you've done on this tractor is excellent. Funny how a little touch up can turn into a full fledged restoration!

You can say that again. 

[Pullstart 62,876]

Phwew I’m caught up on your project!  Nice build all around!

[Horse Newbie 7,069]

Today, it’s a little “ make room in the shop”, and paint a few more parts...

[Horse Newbie 7,069]

Got the other side of the hubs, transmission input pulley, and transmission painted... and a few other parts.

Wire brushed and cleaned some more parts to paint as soon as I get enough parts cleaned to use up a can of paint.

[Horse Newbie 7,069]

Am I missing something here?

 

The lug bolt holes on my back rims for  the  Work Horse are beveled on the side that goes toward the hub.

 

The first pic is the back side and the 2nd pic is the front of the wheel.

 

Can anybody tell me if that is correct, or am I crazy ?

Likely, yes.

Nope. 

 

 

The top pic is the OUTSIDE of the wheel. 

Do you reckon the PO flipped the wheels around to give it a wider stance ?

 

Is that something Wheel Horse guys do ?

[AMC RULES 37,130]

No, W-H guys don't.

The wheel needs to be installed correctly so the lug nuts will stay correctly torqued. 

 

One reason an inappropriately thinking PO may have swapped sides is to create extra room for chains. 

 

 

There are some GT wheels that can be reversed. Those have a clear cup shape to me so they NEED to be on right.  

 

 

If you need to move them out you can use wheel spacers.

It looks to me like they were manufactured incorrectly and slipped through QC ...

 

 

[Handy Don 12,227]

Or they aren't WH wheels?

How can I authenticate ?

[Horse Newbie 7,069]

@ebinmaine... You can see in the first pic, it says “OFF ROAD USE ONLY. 4-84”

 

Do you think these are Wheel Horse wheels ?

If they are bolted on according to the bevels on the holes, then the wide parts of the wheels will be toward the inside...

[Handy Don 12,227]

After seeing your additional pictures, I'm noticing that the "flats" between the lug holes indicate the side that normally goes against the hub is on the same side as the bevels. They should be on the side opposite the lug hole bevels (score one for @Jeff-C175)

 

Edit: Wheels are not mounted in same direction as automobile wheels. See post # 304

WH used different wheels on different tractors with different dimension, backseats, and even bolt patterns. Beyond my scope of knowledge, sorry!

[Horse Newbie 7,069]

I wonder if I could take a large drill bit and “bevel” the other side ?  @ebinmaine  @Handy Don   @Jeff-C175

The back spacing looks correct.

I wouldn't bother. 

 

Are you changing over to lugs and studs?
