Description
My riding mower deck was missing a scalping wheel when I bought it. I bought another set, but while waiting for it to arrive decided to design one just for fun. Turns out, one of the ones I purchased broke almost immediately anyways, so this was handy to have! The inner bore is 12.5mm or ~0.5" diameter. Shaft depth is 38mm or ~1.5". Wheel diameter is 125mm or ~5". Designed based off of the scalping wheel on my older model cyclops Cub Cadet from the 90s, but would probably work for other units as well. I recommend printing in PETG, ASA or ABS at minimum. I'm sure printing out of other high strength materials would work as well given its use case. I don't expect this to necessarily last as long as injection molded ABS, but given I can print it in about 3hrs, its an easy print if you want a quick fix!
