Wheel Disaster Strikes

Posted by Jim Allen on October 12, 2005 at 16:30:27 from (209.173.160.22):

Was about done chisel plowing one of my
fields a few days back when I had a
semi-disaster. I lost a rear wheel in a turn on
my 826D. About halfway through the turn, I
heard a loud "crack." It got my attention and
just as I put my foot onto the clutch, the
outside wheel fell off and the tractor lurched
over. It turns out that two of the hub studs
(what are they actually called?) sheared off,
one on the inside clamp, the other on the
outside.It took me about three hours to get the
parts and get the wheel back on, using two
jacks and the loader on my small Ford. Bent
hell out of the fender, but there was no other
damage. The fender bent right back,
fortunately. In the course of checking out the
tractor, I had put a wrench on all the wheel
bolts, but I guess those two were fatigued
after 35 years. I have replaced all the wheel
studs, nuts and washer so this WON'T
happen again on my watch.
