Morning All,
Thanks for confirming this. I reckon you might be right greenfielder. The nut looks like just a plain nut- not nyloc etc. the nut would need to be staked ?
Fxxxrr, So dads retrofit front wheels have too large a diameter onto the axle?
Cheers,
Yes Thanks Greenfielder for confirming this, and yes its a plain nut not a nyloc, it presumably is set up so that the sleeve and bearing centres can be clamped tightly by the nut and hopefully allow the bearing mounted wheel to spin without putting any loosening force on the nut.
And yes PRD the "trolly" wheels i have are to big a diameter inner for the axles however a sleeve of that towel rail is almost exactly what it needs to make it all work, however the wheel hub width is the same as the length of the axle, so i have no excess to attach the collar to, so im yet to think of a solution for that
those trolley wheels were just something i had, i pulled them off an old billy cart the kids had, which has been behind my shed in the no use to me any more but dont want to get rid of pile, I originally was hoping that they tyres may have fitted the rims, but they are 4 inch and as you know i need 6 inch tyres.
I will most likely run the wheels from the early one on Dads machine for now, as hopefully the nut will work on the trolly wheels letting me use the collar on Dads. My aim today is to fire dads up, I need to get the new carb and get the early on fired up before i can swap them over and start stripping dads down , damn Aust post for being slow LOL
