scotty 252 #1 Posted September 14, 2016 I was pushing some brush over with my b-80 and all of the sudden i let out my clutch and it would not move. I started to pull it back to the house and then all of the sudden the wheel fell off. It turned out the whole hub broke.I had to use a winch to pull it on to the trailer. The hub and axle have been bad on this tractor since i got it around 4 years ago. I was surprised it lasted this long. Looks like i have a project ahead of me.

KC9KAS 4,741 #2 Posted September 15, 2016 That is too bad, but it can be fixed. Good luck with your B-80. I love my B-80! Hell, I love all my Wheel Horses 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,775 #3 Posted September 15, 2016 Look at the bright side; lots of posts pop up here about people who can't get the hub off, yours did it for you. PS; I had one brake on me a few weeks ago, I heard something clanging inside the hubcap, it was part of the hub! It didn't fall off, but came close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotty 252 #4 Posted September 15, 2016 Haha yeah no fussing with the hubs is a big plus and a couple weeks ago i got the hitch pin free. I think it should go pretty smoothly. Now im going to have to decide if i want to paint it up or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,965 #5 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Couple of times a year I give the hubs a checkover for getting loose. Saves tearing up an axle! Usually do it when transitioning from summer to winter duty and again in the spring. Edited September 15, 2016 by squonk 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotty 252 #6 Posted September 16, 2016 Does anyone have a bearing part number? Turns out i had a little more wrong than i thought. The needles all fell out of the axle bearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
