I was mowing the other day and threw the gen-starter belt on my 102, actually shreaded it!
Next to go was the outside edge of the wheel where the bearing fit's, just peeled it back, bummer.
So I robbed the front wheels off my 126 and replaced the bad one onto the 102.
My question is, when tightening the capscrew and flat washer on the wheel, my service manual for my 126 states-if excesive end play exists (maximum 1/32"), place a sufficient thickness of shim washers (3/4" ID) over the outer end of spindle and between the retaining washer and wheel bearing to take up excess end play-Would it be better for the shims to go between the inner end of the spindle and inner wheel bearing, if not much shimming is required?
Also the capscrew should be tight, so is it ok to have no play, or better to have that 1/32" play between the retaining washer and wheel bearing, am I overthinking this?
While im on here, i would like to put ag tires on my 149, right now it has 23x10.5-12 turf tires.
Can I go wider? or will clearance be a problem when tilling or maybe some day plowing?
I have yet to use the 149, still need to rebuild engine and peice tractor together.
Thanks for any help
