STUB AXLES
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:44:53 am »

  I met a gentleman in St. Anthony, NL. on Tuesday past that has a 1965 wide gauge bomber. It looks to be original with the 313 engine. He has a problem with one of his axles. The axle shaft (that the wheel fits on) broke into 2 pieces. He found another one from an older condemned machine & used that. Only problem now is that the one he found has a smaller shaft & he had to use a different bearing & race. One of the members said he thought they changed to a bigger axle shaft in 57-58. I tried looking back over the posts but can't seem to find it now. Does Dan Shavers make these axles ?? Below is a pic of the axle style like he has on his.
