Art,

I am not clear on what you mean. Do you just switch to the Cub wheels? If so, what is the cost of 4 wheels and do you need to do any modifications, do you have part numbers?

My reworked wheels arrived this afternoon and they look great. Larry has made an additional upgrade to the modification by putting in a additional piece of bearing stock in the middle so there is bearing material along the entire length of the axle. His note to me indicated that this improvement is to better disperse the grease along the axle and to eliminate the hydraulic action of putting grease into the fitting and having the grease pushing against the bearing material and dislodging the end bearings from the wheels. I must admit that I am impressed with the quality of the work and his attention to details such as this. I know that the work that Larry has performed is going to outlast the life of the rest of the plastic part of the wheel.
Now if he can devise a device that will keep me from finding the rocks in the lawn, that would be great!!!!!!

Anti-Scalp wheel update 3/6/04 Solid aluminum cast wheel weighs 3 lbs.finished with bronze bushings installed. The diameter is 4 7/8" due to shrinkage in the casting process, shouldn't hurt the preformance of the wheel doing it's job. If any one would like a set of these wheels please contact me at larry@moweraxle.com or moweraxle@yahoo.com and we will talk. I have taken 5 pictures from raw casting to finished wheel and will upload them.
