Rear Hub

    I am in need of a new (or old)  rear hub for my 101 (1929). The old one has had the chain sprocket welded on by some previous un-thinking owner. (He obviously did not worry about replacing spokes or the sprocket !!)

    I have a good friend with excellent machining facilities, who could make a new one from a drawing, out of a billet of steel.

    Does anyone possess such a drawing ? I would like to get the new hub made before I tear the old wheel to pieces.

    I can see the ends of the timken taper bearings when looking in the ends of the hub. Should they normally be protected with an oil seal or dust cover ?

    I live in hope, not desperation

    Mike , there is a set of felts and dust covers that fit the bearings, the correct sizes are essential to fit over the internals and nuts without the felts getting chewed up by the bearings. Randy sells them.  If you are buying used,  make sure that the hub is not worn  by the sprocket  , most are. Also check the threads are not stripped. if you want an accurate reproduction of an original,  look at Randys repro hubs.  The Reno hubs are machined to fit modern bearings, so if you got one from them you would need to buy the complete rear hub assembly with brake parts.  The shop manual has some good drawings of both the hubs and the seal arrangement. 

    Let us know what solution you come up with.
