Rotary Cutter Looking for a replacement tailwheel assembly with a 1-1/2" shank

[MinnesotaEric]

So I hit a beaver-cut stump with my Woods 720X rotary cutter and sheered off the tailwheel assembly. Unaware that the wheel had broken off, I ran the wheel over and destroyed it.

So I'm looking for an inexpensive tailwheel assembly that has a 1-1/2" shank that also has 8-3/4" free play between the wheel yoke and the retaining pin on the top.

I found a version with a 7" shank, but I'd need to weld in the extra shank space to get the free play my cutter needs. Any ideas or places to go?

Thanks in advance!

Gentlemen, thank you for your suggestions. I ordered a 1-1/2" shank tail wheel off of eBay and welded on the longer material I needed as my video shows.

Anyway, if it should come up for anybody else, this was the least expensive wheel with a cast iron hub that I found. NEW 4" X 15" Laminated Tail Wheel H.D. 1-1/2" Yoke Rotary Mower Assembly | eBay
