Once again, Good old experience is worth it's weight in gold! Thanks for all your advice and helps. I started with the rim bolts. They tested out at 40 lbs torque. I tightened them to 95 ft lbs. The U connectors on the axle/wheel were at about 50 ft lbs. They also were re tightened to 95 ft. lbs. torque. The other wheel has very tight rim bolts. More than 95 lbs but I didn't determine how much. But the u connector was at about 50 lbs, just like the side with the clunk. It was also re tightened to 95 lbs. I them jacked up the frame holding the axle watching for any axle movement. I saw none. I blocked it up and turned the wheel by hand. Herd no noises. If this was proving the working inside the rear end, then I could detect nothing.(but the only clunk from before was with the weight of the tractor and a harrow on the wheels. With the harrow remove and on pavement instead of dirt,I could barely detect it before). I removed the lift and took it for a test ride. No clunking. I bought this tractor in disassembled in pieces in a bunch of boxes years ago. The transmission and rear end were the only things in tact. The engine needed lots of work but has been mostly fixed and is working fine now.It has other issues that still need to be dealt with, but I have no real info other than what I can glean at out Case Dealership here in town. It seems that tightening these bolts could very well have corrected the clunk, But how much should they be tightened? What I really need is some good info on this tractor. It's a cool tractor and works very well. Thanks again for your help Rex

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
