You can cut a key way with a hack-saw blade-it's a long and tedious process and you have to do it carefully, but it can be done. We left the wheel on the axel, turned the wheel so the area to be cut was at the bottom of the axel and "hacked" away with the top of the blade in the axel key way. We tightened the clamp every so often to keep the blade in contact with the wheel. If I remember right, Dad cut wooden shims that we used to keep the blade straight. Us kids did the sawing, one kid on each side of the wheel with a wire through the hole in the blade to pull it, just like an old two-man saw. It took a couple of blades & several shims before we "got 'er done". After we got it deep enough, we just took a punch and broke the center section out & filed it flat. We didn't have the $75 for another wheel at the time, so didn't have a much of a choice. It wasn't easy, but it worked for a lot of years with just a steel key in the slot. We did it in probably 1955, or 56, Dad finally traded the H off for a used '53 SM LPG when I went off to college in '62. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
