Hi W/Gazelle
   I fitted John Deere 279 deck spindle housings minus the shafts to the front stub axles of my C121 these have 3/4" bore bearings the same as the Wheelhorse I scrounged these from a customer of ours-a council mower shop whose policy was if the bearings are shot,change the whole assembly! If a walk behind mower needed more than a spark plug to repair it -it was scrapped! I bought a box of new bearings from the USA for these and fitted a couple of nice narrow Howard/ Dowdeswell rotavator wheels along with 4.00 x 8 tri rib tyres. These housings have four threaded holes to attach them to the deck,these now take the wheel bolts.They almost lined up,just a touch with a file needed, tube spacers then fitted to give the track width I wanted.
    regards Doug.

Had Titch down the other week so had most the collection out. Very nice to meet the man and can see why he is called Titch, but his good reputation is bigger.

This is my home made implement. Shame I didn't have time to find a Kohler unit to put on to keep it period. (possible upgrade)

Membership on My Old Machine is free, and there is no obligation to support the forum financially.  
 
My Old Machine operates on a paid host with commercially obtained software which entails periodic renewals and charges.  Because MoM is in it's infancy it is supported by a larger community WheelHorseForum.com. This arraignment is necessary because the cost of operating a professional highly available forum is not free.
 
While our forum grows, it will begin to utilize more resources than RedSquare can or should allow and eventually My Old Machine will need to become independent.  To assist in this independence, we have created a supporter program which is designed to fund the operations of My Old Machine.
 
Becoming a supporter is NOT mandatory to be a member, and as a free member you will enjoy all of the primary benefits of the forum.  Supporting members enjoy these benefits plus:
 
Unlimited attachment sizes (Non-Supporters are limited to 16Mb)
1 Album with 40 pictures in our Gallery
500 Personal Messages (50 for non-supporing members)
Access to the supporter only forum.
and a special supporter badge.
 
Again, supporting the forum is optional, but we do value your support and look to be an independent site.
 
Becoming a supporter is easy, simply visit our store and purchase your one year supporter membership.
