Hi all. For a project of a different nature, I may need the wheel flange position that is available on the rear wheel hubs, on the front spindles. Is this a possible change?
Some more details. There will be no brakes, and no drive axle at this time. What I need to do, is build a spindle mount for the front 5 ton spindle from the 800 series and newer, then install a rear hub with bearings and seals on it. It will be sealed against dirt and foreign materials.
The reason is to get the wheel flange as near to the mounting plate as possible. Perhaps you folks that are much more experienced in the parts available and interchangable can shed some light on this please? I looked at a diagram on Boyce equipment's site that says the bearings and seals are the same, but I have no way to know if the bearing spacing is the same.
I have the oportunity to buy a nearly complete 800 series tractor with the multi-fuel Continental. I'd rather not rob parts from it, which would then pretty much relegate the rig to a parts only status. I'm hoping to just order the parts I need from a supplier off the shelf.
Thanks for any help.
Don.
