Question about what retains wheel hub to shaft on Beatty pumper. After tapping wheel shaft out the bearing case it had moved inside hub a bit. Looks like it has been welded in the past but didn't stick. What's the right fix for this please?

Thanks for the info. Paul I will have a good look at the original before I start and let you know what works best for me. It will be an interesting challenge.

Hello all,

I see lots of good info. sharing here in the forum and am offering what I can regarding a Beatty Pumper rebuild I'm working on. It's all torn down now so if anyone needs any measurements or pics of anything please reach out. Not sure what model I have but see letters PB1 on the gearcase ...
