The 6V2026 Wheel, which is part of the 6V97 Engine Stand Group, is now available for parts replacement. Except for miscellaneous hardware items, the wheel is the only component of the engine stand group which is available separately.

The 6V2026 Wheel has a cast iron core, roller bearings, and a grease fitting to permit lubrication of the bearings. The core is 203 mm (8") in diameter and 76 mm (3") wide.
