ri702bill 8,327 #4 Posted July 13, 2022 Had something similar happen while plowing 2 winters ago. Looks like yours broke at the welds, our C81 had the overmolded plastic wheel that crack on both sides of the hub - very common. I decided to fix it for good - whipped up a 2 piece clamp-on adapter and used a Grant 13 inch wheel and their horn eliminator cap mount. No more roll pin issues, because it doesn't have one!! Kind of the same as the 420LSE... 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gt14rider 765 #8 Posted July 13, 2022 Outer Wheel broke, roll pin and wheel rust welded, most of the carnage was removing wheel with cut off wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gt14rider 765 #9 Posted July 13, 2022 Gt14 wheel fits but has set screws not a roll pin, maybe mod with bolt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,634 #10 Posted July 13, 2022 @ri702bill nice adaption on that wheel ! thats what I am talking about , keep those wheels turning , BTW that paint stage looks perfect for a lubrication spray / rub down . aerosol lubricant of your choice , get a spray coating on all metal surface's , do not rub it in or sandpaper it , just let it soak in for a day , the sun helps the soak in stage , next day , rub down , clean cloth , till dry . total respray again , and drying then rub down . should be a darker looking red , with oiled patina finish . you could linseed oil finish it , for a nice look . only a suggestion . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
