Axle keywayI have filed/ground down the next size larger key till things fit snug. Is it the hub or axle keyway wallowed out....or both?
I had one in a Bush Hog JB1 and I machined a piece of brass into a 1/4" key. I laid it into the worn axle keyway, then welded in the worn away walls. Removed brass key, then hand filed the welds down till the hub fit snugly. I had a good hub to replace the also worn hub, so this made it good as new. The brass doesn't melt away during welding, so this works super.Axle keyway
