rebuilding offset disc

[troweller]

slowly rebuiding an old offset disc.
I ordered new discs and the hole where the 1 1/8 " square axle/gang bolt goes through the disc is 1/8" too big. The guy at the shop said that is the way it is supposed to be sloppy, but the old one's fit snug. I need some more clarification that the discs are supposed to be tight.

I'm only familiar with blades that fit tight on the shaft. Some come punched with a star pattern of 8 points - 2 different sizes. Loose blades would not line up quite right.

You could look at Shoup (probably the likely web address...) to compare different disk parts.

There are two sizes for axels 1" and 1 1/8", sounds like you got the wrong size. I replaced an axel this summer on a Hardee and there was no "slop" on mine.
