Linus Tremaine Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) My recently acquired big six that “needed the spokes tightened” has a front hub that’s cracked in half. I’m looking for a replacement. the threads on the outside are 2-5/8-16 and I’ve posted a few pics with a tape below. Does anyone have one? thanks.

Stude17 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Linus I have earlier hubs which are roughly the same dimensions but have 12 bolts whereas yours have 8. I have never seen one of these hubs that have broken (cracked) as you describe. Can you show a photo of the cracked hub?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I took the wheel to George so he could start getting ready to respoke it when I find a hub. I don’t have a picture but I do have a video. I don’t think I can post it here. I did post the video in the Northern California Antique studebaker Facebook group. It cracked radially all the way around at the back just at the face of the inner bearing race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The best way to find one is to check your parts books and see which models share that hub. From the 29 Studebaker inventories I have a box full of front and rear hubs that I have not inventoried yet but some have part numbers but I doubt that there is an early one like you are looking for but find part numbers and you never know.I won't be inventorying these until spring , so if you did not obtain one by then , I will check.I am pretty well dead in the water because of the covid.

Linus Tremaine Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I don’t have a parts book unfortunately. I’ll see if I can find a part number somehow. l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rohrbach Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Parts book shows fits at least 1919 EH EG , 1920 EH EG, 1921 EH EG, 1922 EL EK. Part number Hub with bearing cups 31955 Hub Flange 31959 I am not sure which you need or both. But looks like you need to take apart and see. Perhaps you only need the flange? I don't have a 1923, 1924 book, to see if fits those years. But 1925 and up books shows different ones.

Linus Tremaine Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks George. I don’t think I need the flange just the hub with bearing cups ( I assume that means races and I assume I can just put new races in if the hub doesn’t have good ones in it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rohrbach Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I don't see a separate listing for bearing cups. That might mean that they are integral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 According to the 1923 to 25 parts book. The same hub and flag was used on the 1923 models. Changed for 1924. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
