Was taking the wheel weights off of a 520H to change from blowing snow to mowing grass and I noticed the right wheel wobbles a bit, meaning if you grab the tire at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock you can move it forward and backwards a bit. Does any one have an idea of what might of worn or failed? How in depth is it likely to be to repair? If I have to I can use a Cub Cadet to mow and take my time getting the Wheel Horse fixed right as I mostly consider it as a riding snow blower that I can mow grass with. Or to ask the real question is the transaxle/axle in the Wheel Horse easier to fix than the oil leak and steering in the Cub Cadet?

Trying to restore a Wheelhorse involves a lot of detective work as to what the PO did to the tractor before you got it. The front rims have pressed in solid flanged bushings. But on the inner side of one spindle I found this flanged ball bearing. The parts list shows 4 pieces #4999 ball bearing. Should I push out the solid bushing and get new bearings(which is what I suspect should be done)? And a related question, shown on the parts list are two washers .015" and .050" thick with a quantity of 3 pieces each. Since this is an odd number does it mean add the washers as required to take up play? Ed
