I have a 126 that I use for snow removal in the winter time. I have a 42" plow and a QA42 snow thrower. I am currently running narrow front wheels with tri-ribs and 23x8.50 turfs filled with RV anti-freeze and dual wheel weights.

I love the current setup, however the front axle is wore jam out. Spindles, steering arm and axle casting are very sloppy. This tractor has been in my family since new in 1970 and it hasn't had a summer or winter off. Engine has been overhauled a couple times.

I want to replace the front axle with an axle off of a CCC 1535. This axle is similar to the factory axle in looks and function. My problem is that I can not find any narrow front wheels that will work with the 1" spindles?

I thought about modifying the 1535 spindles to accept the 3/4 ID wheel bearing on my existing wheels, however I like the idea of having the larger wheel bearings as I have had to change out the 3/4 bearings a couple times over the years due to the weight of the thrower and the abuse this tractor receives.

Any ideas?
