Drum measures 2.80 ID, axle measures 2.675 OD. This means that the drum will not center on the axle. The lug stud holes in the drum are larger than the axle studs & will move around on the axle quite a bit. The difference between the drum & axle is 1/8 inch!! I have not had a chance to check a front hub to see what diamater it is.

Keith, there are a few different ranger drums. The number I found are the earlier ones with the smaller center. Had some extra time this weekend for research and was just a little determined.

Interested to hear anyone's experience with them. Will be a while before I can test them for myself.
