Soooo glad she's ok & doesn't look like there's damage to the tractor, but big thing is she's ok.
BTDT, almost. My 48A is set up for spraying. I was spraying our hay field and the tractor quit moving. Thought the tranny had given it up. Pulled the clutch back, shifted gears and heard a "thunk, thunk, thunk". Started looking around and the left wheel had worked its way off the axle. The axle was resting by maybe 1/4 of an inch on the edge of the rim where the hub slides on the axle. The "thunking" noise was caused by the splines on the axle as it rotated on the edge of the rim when I engaged the clutch.
I very gingerly got off the tractor and shut it down. Walked back to the house and got James. We went back to the field with blocks, jacks & tools and remounted the tire.
Make it a point to look and see if the wheels have worked out any. Check the bolts periodically, too.
Its never happened again.
Interesting that it was the left wheel on my tractor, too. Also interesting that these wheels can be a huge pain to move in or out, but occasionally will work themselves off.
