I have two 681 steam turbines. On both, one of the rear drive wheels have loosened up on the axle. I’ve tried replacing the wheel, then JB weld to hold the wheel onto the axle. Each loosened again eventually. Finally I drilled and tapped the axle, then screwed the wheel onto the axle. This seems to be holding, but I’m unhappy that I had to do this.
I’ve read about others having this problem also, so I must not be alone. Has anybody found a good solution? TIA, Rick
