So a long overdue update on my WD hubs... As many of you noted to me, on my wheel with about 1/2" play on it, a weird gas cap welded to the hub cap, and with cracked bearing races, that I was in for some surprises... Well, turns out not only were my old inner bearing races cracked, they had also spun in the hub... Like, forever. I went to drop new races in and they fell into place and weeble-wobbled. So I ordered new hubs.
New hubs were pretty nice, other than they missed machining out one of the notches for punching races out... So I drilled that in.
Then a bit of primer and paint on the bare metal stuff.
New races, fresh grease, new bearings, and those locknut deals for my boogered spindle threads.
Everything is together nice and tight now, no slop to be noted and the wheel spins nicely. Got a used hub cap off of another Allis, and will retire (but not throw away) the gas cap welded on hub cap that came with the tractor.
Ran out of steam today though, too hot in the shed to do the other side. Cost me a bit of money, but I feel I will be much happier when I am done here. Thanks for all the advice and assistance -- you guys were right, my hubs were trashed, lol. I should've listened and ordered the parts sooner instead of waiting.

In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
