 Topic: Are my front hubs messed up?
Posted: 15 Dec 2010 at 4:27pm |
This is a follow up to my post yesterday. The front rim on my D17 w/ loader is going bad. The rim only has 10 hours on it. Here is a picture of the hub. There is a 1/4" groove on the hub where it makes contact with the center hole of the hub.
Shouldn't it be smooth? Can I fill it in with a mig welder?   |

Yes, your hub is shot. It looks like someone ground out around the edge of it for a wheel with a larger center hole, which isn't right. I will take a picture of a good hub that I have and send it to you. I do have a good set of hubs here and a good wheel also if you're interested in them. I will get a picture loaded up.

Here is a picture of a good hub. Notice how the center section is even with the dust cap so that there is a good spot for the rim to ride on.

If I were you, I would look at the other one and make sure that one is not modified or buggered up too. If you need a set, let me know. I know I have a couple good rims around here. One or two are a little rusty, but I know I have one good one that must have been a replacement rim as it is like new. The tire on it is junk though so I would have to demount that. Let me know if your'e interested.

D15's came with 6 hole hubs as well as 5 hole, cause the set on my D15 are 6 hole. Thanks Michael, you gave me a good idea of where to borrow a good set of rims/tires for my D17 so I don't have to buy a new set right away!!
