Hi all, I'm restoring a TE1 that is missing one of its rear hubcaps.  I'm also after the nut and spring off the front wheels.

looking forward to hearing from you

Forest sells them and the hubs are dirt cheap.

the spring and nut are a problem, as they only supply them with an entirely new front fork for the tractor.  As I am trying to retain as much of the original engine as possible (including the front fork), this is not really an option.

But your right, the hubs are dirt cheap.

Just remembered I had a damaged set of forks in my junk box but I'm pretty sure they are for rollers, will check tomorrow though for you.
