I'm in the process of restoring a Terra Tiger basket case I purchased a few weeks ago. Upon inspecting the parts after I tore it down, I found that I need 2 axles for this machine. The previous owner has cut 2 of the axles and welded on some 4 bolt wheel adapters. I would just change to 5 bolt wheel adapters but they appear to be a real mess with a piece of pipe welded on as an extension, so I'm looking for new axles.

Any leads out there?

I'm also looking for a new T handle as well if you know of one of these.

Thanks,
Mike

As long as your in there & getting dirty,you might as well change out your bearings.The old ones may last a long time,but if they fail you will have to change out not only the bearings,but the broken axels coused from the heat damage.

I plan on changing out the bearings too. Do you happen to know a part number for the bearings that could be purchased at NAPA or Bearings Inc?
If not, I will just take the old ones in and let them match them up.

I'm lucky to have a company called bearing belt & chain here in Tucson Az.
They know nothing on the subject of 6x6's(except what I've forced them to learn) but of course are experts on the products they sell.

They would have to have numbers to match anything up,asking for parts for a machine model would just get you weird looks.

Of course taking the actual bearing to a local shop would be better,since a picture is worth a thousand words.(yellow pages)

Or this web site is an even better place to find bearings for a certain model 6x6 :)

Still Looking for Terra Tiger Axles!

I need 2 axles but would buy one if that is all you have. Please e-mail me if you have any laying around you would be willing to sell.
