Finally got back out to the WD today. Started to clean up all of the inside of the hub assembly. Here's the spindle itself. It looks like the threads are almost toast on the end, and almost like the cotter pin slot is wallered out (wonder if the hub slamming in and out started to beat the castle nut sideways against the tip?). I assume the little flat washer and spacer should be able to come off the spindle, right? They seem on there solid.
So cleaned up the hub cap side of the hub... It didn't seem to be in too bad of shape. However, the bearing I pulled out of here seems to have a lot of play in it as I spin it. Definitely heavily worn.
Then I cleaned up the big side of the hub... This is where it gets fun. What do you see?
Do you see it? There's literally three giant cracks in the bearing race. Probably blown all the way through, I haven't tried to punch them out yet. Here's a better pic:
Also, somebody asked about the farmer fix hub cap... Apparently after the end was sliced through, it was welded up "to make it hold grease again", but whether the bearings or races were replaced at that point, I have no idea. But I'm starting to see where there were 4 shims inside the hub.
Anybody have any thoughts on what my next step should be? I've got new bearings and races to install in the hub. Not sure what to do about the worn out threads on the spindle tip though.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
