Am I just hearing the bad? Please don't bash...that's not the intent. Does Modern Machine, Engler, or anyone else make something similar? Reply Quote

Have them	I have 2 sets and they work great. Never loosened up. Had to do a little cleanup on the keyways in the axles with file to get a perfect fit. I retorqued them after the first pull but never found a loose bolt. Reply Quote

I bought a set from Pete and picked up a Gordywana. I thought they were a beautiful work of art, and fit perfect! The only thing I had problems with was the lock washers split while snugging the bolts down. Wasn't even close to tight. So I rummaged through my stash and found enough head bolt flat washers to put on all the bolts. That is the only thing I would suggest he change, is use high quality flat washers instead of the so-so lock washers. I run them on my 11,000# 700hp too hot to farm AC 210. Retorqued after first couple of pulls and they stayed tight. Great product and person to deal with!

Dixie	Have a set of Pete's hubs on my hot farm tractor, no complaints at all. Axels must be perfectly clean and they fit like their supposed to, extreamly tight. been on for five years without a problem period. Reply Quote

Have 2 sets of the Caps hubs on 9500 Pro Farms, they work wonderfully once installed and tight. Only thing I will say is we had to flap wheel a bunch of the key down, take the edges off to make it slide on the axle (for an IH 66 axle) without binding up after cleaning up the axle so the wedge would slide. Also had a slight issue with the 10.9 bolts stretching on 1 of the 4 hubs, changed them all to the 12.x and were good to go. Would recommend them to anyone who wants a wedge style hub
