Those are good ideas. Thanks. I will check with our local machine shop to see if they can cut the 3/4 hubs out and put 1" back in.
Finding a bearing with the same OD as the current bearing and with a ID of 1" is an interesting idea. I wonder how much that would effect the load carrying ability and longevity.
The only idea I came up with since my original post was to run trailer hubs and wheels on the 1535 spindles. I read some old posts on ihcubcadets where someone did that. Great idea if you are using a loader, however I don't think I need that strong of setup.
Beside, I'm trying to keep this tractor looking somewhat original.
