Front tire and hub for Ford 8000 die cast toy tractor

thingiverse

I've been itching to get my hands on designing/printing the inner front hub missing from an old die-cast Ford model 8000 toy tractor from my childhood memories. I'm thrilled that I finally got around to it. The end result exceeded my expectations (perfect!) and the fit is spot on. I decided to take it a step further by modeling the outer hub as well, and the tire itself.\r\n\r\nFiles included are the inner hub, outer hub, and the tire.\r\n\r\nAs always, this project remains a work in progress; there's endless room for improvement. \r\n\r\n**Updated:**\r\n * I softened the sharp edges\r\n * I updated the solid tire with the inset it needs to fit properly with the hubs.\r\n * I removed the hollow tire; the center hole should be solid, and the tire can be printed with low infill to save material and make it more flexible, if desired.\r\n\r\n**Future improvements:**\r\n * I plan on creating a version of the hub(s) with mounts for a bearing
