Oh the agony!!

I contacted the folks at Shanks and they said the parts are no longer available.

I have to get the sawzall out and surgically remove the axle bolt holding the left wheel onto the drive shaft
then after that I will remove the belly plate to do the rest of the work.

I will be removing the wheels and then the axle shafts this week and go from there. I have to have tubes put in the tires and mount the snow chains.
The left axle is the drive side and the right axle is the carrier side and as it has easy steer it is a lot different than the junk my father bought in 1969.

The nylon bushings in the parts diagram have the same part number and should present no problems to find as Mcmaster-Carr has several pages of
them as well as open flange bearings of course.

Both axle shafts are machined differently but obtaining a two bolt open flange bearings should not be an issue as the local KAMAN Industrial franchise is
only 2 hops, 2 skips and a long yodel from me and a good excuse to wander into the Olive Garden for lunch and a nice tall Manhattan on the rocks with
club soda with extra cherries.

No worries, all is not lost, yet. Stay tuned to the same Big Ol Bear channel, same Big Ol Bear time.
