So a long overdue update on my WD hubs... As many of you noted to me, on my wheel with about 1/2" play on it, a weird gas cap welded to the hub cap, and with cracked bearing races, that I was in for some surprises... Well, turns out not only were my old inner bearing races cracked, they had also spun in the hub... Like, forever. I went to drop new races in and they fell into place and weeble-wobbled. So I ordered new hubs.
New hubs were pretty nice, other than they missed machining out one of the notches for punching races out... So I drilled that in.
Then a bit of primer and paint on the bare metal stuff.
New races, fresh grease, new bearings, and those locknut deals for my boogered spindle threads.
Everything is together nice and tight now, no slop to be noted and the wheel spins nicely. Got a used hub cap off of another Allis, and will retire (but not throw away) the gas cap welded on hub cap that came with the tractor.
Ran out of steam today though, too hot in the shed to do the other side. Cost me a bit of money, but I feel I will be much happier when I am done here. Thanks for all the advice and assistance -- you guys were right, my hubs were trashed, lol. I should've listened and ordered the parts sooner instead of waiting.

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
