Paul: While I agree with you my concern was really about loose bolt holding castings of the tractor together. Two castings bolted together or any item bolted to a casting is quite tough, but let them get loose and the cast is quite vulnerable.

I remember going to a local welding shop once with broken cast portion of Farmall 300 front wheel. This was quite amusing as our local welding shop guy was an alcoholic. I had the misfortune of getting him on a 40 ounce day. He said," running with rim loose on hub, no man alive tough enough to stay on a Farmall long enough to break that hub if wheel is tight." I must admit he was right. The cast wheel was broke rght through one spoke and right into bearing journal.

That welder was drunk when I left the wheel, he was still drunk two days later when I went back for it. In fact he was sitting on the same 5 gallon pail. That would have been 45- 47 years ago and last time I saw the 300 the wheel was still going. He must have sobered up for the welding, but I'm not sure.
