Yes all good I have the same one comes with shaft,bearings and dust cover. I have a 40mm x 8 ring profile cut and welded it to make a marker disc, also helps the plough from moving

Excellent wheel and highly recommended.
Ball bearings in this wheel.

whilst you have plenty of stuff laid around doing nothing, and all raw materials to hand, it might be good to have a go for make one,
but if there is something you would have to buy to do the job, plus all your time making it, then just buy a new wheel, the above for a hundred shekels is good value for money
Not sure about the price being good value, Brand new 600x15 x6 sparex pnumatics with tyre and bearings are £64 inc vat, as you know, I have two on my plough. The marker wheel being liberated from I believe a scrap mole plough, was nothing.
Being a fossil, I have plenty of time, and little money, but I always make as much as I can.That wheel works out at about one sixth of the total cost of my plough.
Going back to the thread title, why build another plough? Much better to make the one you have work properly, with that you have an idea as to what it needs, with a new build, its all up in the air again.

have to agree, why not get the plough you have modified to how you want it, rather than build another,
what makes you think a new plough will be better, and why can't you alter the one you have

I know, what your saying makes sense, but I have some more YL 183 Kristeel mouldboards that I have shined up and want to use.

you are only new here, member since Saturday, is that correct,
if you read back over the years on here, I have been very helpful on here to other members, and will more than likely continue to do so, but as you may not know, I do make and sell a kit for the cross shaft, it took a good while to get it right,
and not about to give away all the details, the geometry is paramount, and was only wanting to keep it to myself,
and as you were very forth coming with you question, so I was the same with my reply,

Just a comment.
Why would anyone want to put pictures of their ideas of a sliding cross shaft on here.
I made my own sliding headstock which worked ok but it took a long time to get the geometry right. (Pennine Ploughing has been there and done it too) so why give your secrets away.
Mine was photographed at a match and a copy made for the next week complete with mods.

quite right, someone took pictures of mine, made a copy, or they thought they had copied it, after 3 years of it not working right, he is back to a standard plough, geometry is the key, anyone can weld some bits of steel together to look similar
