Warren D Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm looking for the "baby moon" chrome caps for the rear hubs on tractors. I'd prefer a source in the US and a stock item, I have a deadline and don't have time to wait 6 weeks. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren D Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Don't recall any Hobby Lobby's but I think there is a Michael's somewhere around here. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how tight your time schedule is, or if things are the same in Connecticut, but it usually takes 2-3 weeks for something to arrive in North Carolina from ST Supply in Canada once it has been shipped. Not speaking negatively of ST Supply. It is a shipping from Canada thing. I received my KFS tires yesterday that were shipped on the 10th.

Warren D Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 I've had better experiences but a lot depends on where in Canada. I think it'll work, I have about 3 weeks left, just don't have time to order from Australia which can take 6 weeks or more. I have a plan B I could go to if time gets critical. The good thing is these parts can be put on anytime, nothing else depends on them being in place. It's a tight build anyway, been busy with other things in life and I'm quite behind where I wanted to be. Rain all this weekend will help this build but puts me behind in other areas. I could use a couple extra days each weekend or maybe 2-4 extra hours each day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 You could try thumb tacks, they might be the size you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The local hardware store may have a selection of packages of decorative tacks in the small nail section - I've seen them there, but not all hardware stores carry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look the next time that I go to the Michael’s here. That is where I found the ones above. I had to buy a set that had more that I couldn’t do anything with than ones that I could use. They were pretty cheap though. I will let you know if I find any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I agree with many of you. A package of stainless steel thumb tacks would give you a lifetime supply for little cost. Go to the Dollar Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just left Micheal’s. Evidently they don’t carry those studs anymore. The closest thing that they had was more like a flat mirror than a hubcap. I will check Hobby Lobby soon and see if they have anything similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked Hobby Lobby again today with my wife. Evidently those iron on studs that I had found in the past, are just that, a thing of the past. Sorry for taking so long to get back. I have actually made a couple of trips to both Micheals and Hobby Lobby looking for them. I thought maybe that I was just overlooking them. Glad that you found some!
