Tonka Conversion

Can you take a dremel tool and make a slot inside of the wheel for the pin on the axle. And then when you put the axle nut on the wheel should actually drive.

I don't have any problem doing that, I'm not sure if the axle shaft in the differential, is large enough to put the pin in.

If you look at the pictures closely it appears that the axles are already drilled for cross pins.

You know, I believe you're correct! Thanks for pointing that out to me.

This is how i attached the wheels on my first tonka conversion.

I saw this in your build photos. It looks like there is a brass bushing inside the tire, that is glued in? I looked at the axle you recommended, but need to know the size of the nut to put on the first tire and the next for the outer. also, I am waiting for a response as to size of the pin.
