franklinman Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The best source for having new spokes/felloes replaced is Bill Calimer (Calimers Wheel Shop) in Waynesboro, PA. He advertises in AACA and has a website you can google. The best wheel work available, BAR NONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark1934* Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks very much. Now all I need are the seals, which I think are more like felt washers held in by a 3.5" steel ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DodgeKCL Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I take all my old bearings and seals to my local bearing shop. He measures up the 'hole' and the shaft that the seal seals against and installs a modern neoprene spring loaded seal. They usually run about $15 for a seal and about twice that and sometimes more for a modern bearing. But the 'fix' is permanent. I just did rear axle seals on a '33 and it took Timken #350936 at $14 each. This replaced the original Chicago Rawhide leather seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
