ranger 373 #26 Posted June 8, 2014 I`ve just taken a spindle apart, only takes a few min`s.One bearing comes out with the spindle, the other stays in the housing. Photos of the parts, the spacer goes in before you press/bash in the second bearing. Doug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestwoodGazelle 103 #27 Posted June 12, 2014 Great job Doug, seems like very good way of solving the problem Your 'Horse looks pretty cool with that exhaust and those wheels too! 1 ranger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 373 #28 Posted June 12, 2014 one day I hope to get them as clean & shiny as yours. the exhaust on the C121 is off a Kubota 2 cylinder engine, the 312-8 is a stainless silencer copy of the original except for the stack. The original rusted out so I cut it up & measured everything even down to the number and size of the holes in the baffles in an attempt to maintain the correct backpressure, sad really. but then I bought a carb with adjustable main jet so I needn`t have bothered. The company Northern Tools sell trailer hubs with I think a 1" bore bearing size,You could fit these with a sleeve 3/4" to 1" I think they have either a 4" or 100mm pcd. so nice narrow 8" trailer wheels would fit. I would imagine any trailer / caravan / camping / good motorist shop will probably stock these as well. The downside is You have to buy them,so much better when you can scrounge/recycle things. 1 WestwoodGazelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
