Antiquated 3 #1 Posted May 27, 2013 Hopefully I'm in the correct forum... When working on my fuel system issues with the C-145 I have noticed my left rear wheel has about a eighth to a quarter inch of side to side movement on the axle. The right wheel doesn't move at all side to side. I'm new to this so how big of a deal may it be and what steps would I need to take to repair it. I just want to get it fixed now before it becomes a larger problem. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowtieguy 334 #3 Posted May 27, 2013 That tractor was is good shape for its age...so I don't think you have any problems with the axle movement....lets hook up a plow and see how it works!! PS...hope you saw the post about Larry's "meet" in Sep.....hope you can make it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,193 #4 Posted May 28, 2013 Depends how you define side to side. If you can push the axle in or pull it out up to 1/8th inch that is normal. If you can move it up/down or front to rear you have a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,273 #5 Posted May 28, 2013 If you are talking about slack in the gears in the trans...that is really normal. If that is the case...I think you are OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #6 Posted May 28, 2013 i agree with paul,in and out is ok,up and down is a worn bearing and should be fixed right away before you wreck the axle or the housing,it would take alot to wear to the housing,but not too long before axle could get torn up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
