Hellow From Adrian, MO (south of Kansas City)

HI fellow hobby machinists.

I'm a strictly amateur machinist but love working with metal.

So far the honey-do list has kept me from my projects since retiring,. But Soon.

My last project was making a pair of hubs for the front end of a Craftsman yard tractor.
Allowing me to use 8 inch 4 bolt rims and tires on the front. WITH REAL BEARINGS.
Instead of the stock tires with the compressed (I don't know maybe graphite) bushings.

On our little farm here, those wheels wore out in a month.
