Devin 27 #1 Posted December 16, 2017 I was driving it around after I got it running smooth and the front left wheel fell off turns out it didnt have the bearing or whatever inside of the rim around the spindle so it was just the rim on the spindle and obviously the inside of the rim is way bigger than the spindle so i dont know where to get the bearing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devin 27 #12 Posted December 17, 2017 @AMC RULES There is so much grease I cant tell but I'm 90% sure that's it because I have never seen that in the broken wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,940 #13 Posted December 17, 2017 Only one way to find out Devin. Raise the front of your tractor, remove both front wheels... clean 'em up, do your inspection, find out what you're working with, or need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wobbly, loose? Glenn Craig gives good information, pay heed to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devin 27 #15 Posted December 17, 2017 @JERSEYHAWG / GlennYes its wobbly and loose its fallen off twice and actually the second time i couldn't find the piece that holds it on so i need a new one of those little clamp things to hold it on as well unless i can find the original one but that is very unlikely ij the grass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #16 Posted December 22, 2017 That is called a C-clip, should be 3/4". Snap ring with appropriate pliers will hold the best if you have them. There is a VERY good chance that if you ran the wheel without bearings the wheel itself where the bearings seat will be damaged. Your new bearings will fall right out. Make sure that when you put the new bearings it that you gently tap the metal around the bearing so that it fits tightly and evenly, otherwise look to get a new used wheel. Also check your spindle to be sure its not worn out and damaged. You will ruin all your new bearings if it is. All of this stuff can be obtained from vendors on here like @Kelly or @A-Z Tractor or many people if you sift through the sale ads or place a wanted ad. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #19 Posted December 22, 2017 Yes, its the C clip / snap ring, just had mine apart last week. Theres special pliars made for it, makes the removal and install a whole lot easier. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 585 #24 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Both the external snap ring or C-clip will work. Incidentally, a body style washer with a 3/4" hole over the spindle and clipped can help finish a job without the wheel falling off. Taking the 5th on why I know that . If the hub didn't get too chewed up? Again, Taking the 5th . The bearings are easy to replace. Good Luck Pat Edited December 23, 2017 by 6wheeler 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
