Yes, I was not able to get the 5959 seal for the shaft; but I did use a new replacement not pictured. Next is the axle seals.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the allen set screw is, that is near the needle bearing in the lower part of the first pic, and just right of the right needle bearing in the second pic?

Found out that the set screw is just a plug, it serves no purpose. This was told to me by the gentleman who designed the forward-swept axle that Wheel Horse liked and used.

I do not have the 2 nyloc bolts {part #908033-6 or simply 908033} these are for the spindles. The other parts I would like to get are the 4 bearings new {part #104396} these are no longer made that I know of.

I was surfing through eBay and saw the part # for this bearing, I could not believe the price... ... until I noticed it said SET OF 4 I also noticed it was a Buy-It-Now so knowing I only needed 2 more for a full set to complete the front of the resto-mod I "Bought-It-Then" as opposed to trying to buy just 2. The 2 remaining New Old Stock bearings will be spares.

I still need the 2 nyloc bolts {part #908033-6 or simply 908033}, I am just using non OEM until???

Upon inspection, after disassembling the hydro motor, I noticed that the valve plate and the slippers were worn and scratched. I had disassembled another motor from a parts tractor I had, and the valve plate was much better; however, I did not use an arbor press to remove the shaft and the method I used damaged the back side of the valve plate. This was very unfortunate as it could have been reconditioned and reused. I also had a motor from a D-180 that I am parting out, so I decided to have a go at disassembling it and inspecting the valve plate and slippers. Well, I could hardly believe what I saw... to be continued! No, it was impeccable and the slippers were not only scratch free, they had really sharp edges on them, no rounding at all. I also was able to salvage a perfect "O"-Ring for the bearing to cover plate and one for the shaft. I still have a bit of cleaning to do to the parts and some inspecting of the valves then it should be ready to begin reassembly. I have not taken any pictures yet but I will try to get some and post them in the next update.
