This note was under DPC on the Murray cart he has the pics of the same issue I have.
Had a stumbling stone when it came to the axle. Cannot find a stock replacement, so after contacting BMI again, turns out I need to get a custom grind for this thing. Ordered a 1" solid axle and gave them the proper dimensions for step-downs to .75", keyways and thread length...even the thread type. Until that arrives, I'm able to strip the old paint, powder coat the frame and rims...and replace the tires. Going with a brighter glossy blue with black roll bars.
Strange setup with this tube welded as part of the frame. Two 1.75 OD bearings support the .75 shaft. Stepped down portion of the 1" axle I ordered will start prior to the bearing.
