and 2284, and various other makes and models of garden tractors with 3/4",
7/8" or 1" diameter front spindle shafts. These are not ordinary plastic
washers. These are made of very tough, long wearing and slippery
polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) plastic. Use ordinary automotive chassis grease when lubricating
front spindles. Eliminates metal to metal friction, which can result in hard
steering, reduces steering effort about 85% and prevents wear to axle and
steering knuckles. Works great for general lawn and garden use, and/or tractors
with a heavy snow plow and/or front loading bucket. Installs where steering
knuckles makes contact with underneath of axle (load-bearing and friction
area). Go here for more information:

  Bronze Front Axle
Bushings for Garden Tractors with 3/4" or 1" Diameter Spindle Shafts. When
replacing existing OEM bushings, accurately measure the O.D. x O.D. x length
for replacements of same size. Or use these to replace existing worn bushings
or repair worn (oblong) axle spindle holes when no bushings are originally
installed (when the spindles make metal to metal contact with the cast iron
axle). If no bushings were originally installed in the axle, then spindle
holes must be professionally precision-aligned bored (machined) to accept
bushings. Other sizes of bushings are available. Please let A-1 Miller's
know what you need and I can probably get it for you at a reasonable
price.NOTE: If no Zerk grease fittings are
installed in the axle to lubricate the spindle shafts and for easier steering
and longevity of the bushings, it'll be a good idea to install these, too.

Click or tap here to
learn how to professionally drill for and cut new threads. FYI
- If a grease fitting needs to be used in a thin-wall steel tubing (that's
too thin to cut deep enough threads into) to lubricate a moving inside shaft,
weld a

trust delivery/shipping companies (mis)handling your high-dollar and fragile
merchandise, you can make the long drive to
A-1 Miller's shop to personally
drop off and/or pick up your carburetor, clutch assembly, engine, transaxle,
tractor, etc. "The road to a friend's house (or shop) is never long." (We're
planning to relocate to other property with a bigger and better shop so we
can provide many more high quality parts and professional services.) 
Heavy Duty Tie Rod Ends with
integrated rubber dust seal. Very strong. Dust seal extends life of tie rod
end. Most common direct OEM replacements found on many makes and models of
lawn and garden tractors. Can be used on riding mowers, lawn and garden tractors,
garden pulling tractors, compact tractors, mini-rods, recreational vehicles,
automotive throttle linkages, automotive transmission shifter linkages, etc.
Secure to lever with a self-locking nut, or nut and split lock washer.
Extreme Duty Ball Joint
Ends (
Protective Rubber Seals/Shields
for Heim joints above È. These are a
cup-shaped neoprene rubber seal bonded to an aircraft quality flat washer.
Rubber edge fits snug against Heim joint to prevent dust, dirt, debris and
moisture from entering spherical ball, which will cause it to wear. Apply
motor oil on ball before installing seals to extend life of Heim joint. Seals
for 1/4" Heim joints not available.
Heavy Duty, Oil-Impregnated
Metal Graphite Flanged Wheel Bushing for the IH Cub Cadet "Original" with
7/8" diameter front spindle shafts and 1-3/8" O.D. wheel hubs. Oil impregnated
means the hardened metal is porous to absorb oil and grease so it will last
longer. Also, the oil acts as a cushion between the bearing and shaft, adding
resistance to wear. When installing, align the flat area on the bushing with

Heavy Duty All Plastic Wheelie
Bar Wheels with smooth, rounded tread surface. Looks nice on a competition
pulling tractor. Weighs less than 10 ounces each. Lighter in weight than
all-aluminum wheels or steel wheels w/rubber tread, but just as strong.
Dimensions: 5" overall height x 1-5/16" wide x 5/8" center hole. Our part
# 11819.
For performance testing of 10-16hp
single cylinder Kohler stock or competition pulling engines at speeds up
to 12,000 RPM. 100% accurate, customers can rent dyno time, fine tune and
make adjustments or changes to their engines to gain maximum horsepower and
torque, and print-out the results so their tractor(s) will be truly competitive
on the track. With an engine dyno, the puller can adjust their engine to
get maximum horsepower and torque, and gear their tractor appropriately to
have an advantage over the competition. NOTE: A fresh-built engine may
not produce full power until it's broke-in. This is when the valves wear-in
with the seats to completely seal in the compression. The rings will likely
hold the compression, but the valves may leak slightly until they wear into
the seats. This is normal for all engines and may take several hours or pulls
to happen, then the valves will be able to hold full compression. Lots of
pullers tell A-1 Miller's after I've built their engines that it seems to
pull stronger every time they pull it.
Coming Soon - Detailed Illustrated
Plans on How to Construct a Professional Pull-Back and Self-Propelled Garden
Tractor Pulling Sled. FYI - The
professionally-built self-propelled pulling sled is the only one I've ever
built (click the picture to the right to see a larger image of this sled),
and I got it right the first time, with very few changes or modifications
that had to be made to it. I guess I'm just one of those kind of guys that
knows what he's doing. Pullers really like pulling our sled, too. They say
it's the best sled they've ever pulled. (Not bragging, just stating a fact.)
By the way - Track Master sled is engineered so well (by Brian Miller), that
other sled builders/owners have copied my well thought-out and proven design.
And I do appreciate them acknowledging my intelligence. Anyway, I have lots
of work to do in my shop and I work on the sled plans in my spare time. As
soon as my plans with an inventory list of parts to use are perfected, I'll
post the update in my websites with the prices of the plans. Remember -
Perfection takes time. If it's worth having, it's worth waiting for. Also,
I plan to acquire a bigger shop and may build high quality garden tractor
pulling sleds in the future to offer for sale. Please call 573-256-0313 (shop)
