Hentietta's new wheel.
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:53 am
For some time now one rear wheel was talking to me as we rounded corners. It had already had a farm fix with metal wedges driven between spokes. I had tightened the hub bolts and re-peened the bolts, but looseness in the tenons could not be fixed. The difficulty was finding a sound replacement with the same weathered look. In the end I gave up finding a rear wheel, instead opting to change out the hub from a good front wheel in the stash hanging from the falters in my workshop.
Canadian wheels make this job easy. I gave it two full coats
of Penetrol on the woodwork, and refitted it for a test run. No more "talking" and a better handbrake on the replacement brake drum. That's a win win for me.
