56 NH rake

[Tony L]

On the left side there is what they call a spindlle or what I would call an axle. On the axle there is a round flat plate that is keyed to the spindle and has an allen head bolt to set the depth for the bearings. Now to my question. I put in new races , bearings and seals. Is there a bushing or something that goes between the bearing and that flat plate. I have already put in the seal. I think I have either lost a part or something. The bearing will not stay in the race when it turns. Or is there an exploded view of the parts list I can look at before I look dumber than I am when I go to the local parts house.

I need a new hub evidently. And by the price I don't think it will happen for a week or so. Thanks All

I know that I will get alot of responces saying that my solution to keeping the races in your hub will not last but here it goes. If your hub is a bit worn so that the rece turns freely, I would take a center punch and rough up the hub (dimple)where the race sits to take out any play, then spray brake clean to get all the oil and greese off. then mix up some 24 hour JB Weld and coat the hub in the race area. Make shure the outer part of your race is also clean and install to location. Clean up any excess JB Weld and make sure the innner surface of the race is clean (no JB Weld). Let sit for at least 24 hours in a quite warm area. I use the 24 hr stuff instead of the 5 minite as it seems to be more durable. Some will say it won"t last, but 4 years ago I bought a NH 488 haybin and had to rebuild the woble box. Where the bearings where located, I had to buildup the area as the cast was wor due to lack of grease. Works great, does"t make noises, and saved me over 1400.00 for a new wable box at the dealer. By the way the dealer shop forman said it would not work and last a season. I was intorduced to JB Weld about 10 years ago when a friend of mine cut off a siezed bearing off a shaft with a torch but was not carefull enough that he removed some of the shaft. He removed the bearing and slag, cleaned it up and applied the JB Weld. He then placed it in the oven to speed up the curing process and fogot about it for 3 hours, needless to say a file would not touch it. I had to machine it off with a metal lathe. Sorry for being long winded.

I just looked at it and I believe that will work. I am not the JB kind of guy but my Dad is. He told me a while ago for me to go find something to do and when I came back tommorow he would have it together. Dad agreed with you and I have to many Irons in the fire so to speak to find the patience for it right now. Thanks

"He then placed it in the oven to speed up the curing process and fogot about it for 3 hours," If I tried that my wife would never let me forget it.
