I am working on a little C puller that I have put a c153 engine in. In the process of lightening the tractor I bought a set of 340 hubs to replace the original hubs the C came with. I am now finding that the wheel bearings are not the same between a 340 and a C. I managed to find a set of outer bearings that will work. The problem now is with the inner one. I can find the bearing cup okay, its the cone that is the problem. All of cones that will fit with that cup have to large of and inside diameter. Like 0.060" to large. My next step is a trip to one of the local commercial bearing distributors in my area. If that fails, I will have to find a 340 narrow front. I had thought about using a Speedi sleeve to increase the diameter, but they I think they are intended for seal fixes. The other option would be to peen the shaft which is would only be a last resort. Anyone out there had this type of problem before?
