Front wheel bearing experiment
The front wheel bearings seem to fail every season when I mount the snow thrower. To combat this I am experimenting with installing two sets of bearing per wheel. (If two are good... Four are better... Right?) Four of the bearings flanges were turned off in the lathe allowing them to be pressed below the hub face.
These wheels will also be getting a set of Terra Trac tires.
We shall see how well this works if I get enough snow to need the thrower.
