I've got a dual rear wheel situation with
the inside hub haaving an attachment on it
that slides over the shaft to match a keyed =

pathway on the axle. The outer wheel bolts
onto the inner one and the key is what makes
the whole thing turn. My problem is that the
interior of the inside on is shot and won't
hold a key anymore. My questions are has any
one ever seen one before and would anyone know
where I could get a replacement inner hub with
attachment?
Any info would be appreciated...<

I've got a 2N tractor that I cut my grass with. But it has flanged axle
shafts on it similar to a car or 1/2 ton chevy p/u truck.

The axles coming out of the housing are round with a keyway? Many farm
tractors use that setup. I've only seen one 9N/2N tow tractor before an=
d
I thought it also used the flanged axles, but perhaps not. I doubt that
there are many of those around. If you need any other engine parts,
clutches, etc Central Tractor supply is a good source of old Ford Parts. =

You may want to consider taking the hub assembly to a machine shop, they
may be able to bore it out and press in a sleeve that can hold a key. It=

might be a lot easier than trying to find a spare hub.

Good Luck,

Dave
