Did you know that the WC widefronts have a unique bearing cap? The widefront that I bought was missing one cap and I didn't think anything of it until I went to replace it, thought I'd just grab one from any WC/WD but nope. The widefront has external threads on the cap. Anybody know if they are the same as a cap from anything else?

They are not unique, they are the same as a model U tractor, the whole hubs are model U.

I've got 2 sets of hubs and bearings for early 6 bolt WC's narrow fronts and they are completely different from each other but neither has external threads.
