Re: Driving Colson Wheels

I like your idea to install an OTS bearing housing, this will eliminate the need for a load-transmitting press fit. You could then install the wheel/bearings on a shoulder bolt (my personal favorite) and shim it into position with OTS spacers.

McMaster PN 91259A636 and page 3232 respectively. You could also get larger OTS spacers or shaft collars if so desired.
