Hey Billy NY, Well I power washed my front end of my tractor and using the front end loader I was able to lift it up and down to see all the movement in the front end, I have less than 1/8" of play in the center axle area around the pivot shaft, and movement between center axles and knee axles, spindles and very little in wheel bearings.
I noticed the 5/8" bolts holding the axles together were not all the same and some seemed to be missing so I went out and bought 8 new bolts,washers,lock washers and nuts. When replacing them some of the bolts were threaded all the way to the bolt head and had worn down were the axles were rubbing on them. After replacing all the axle bolts I let the front end down and it was 50% better than before.
Now on the spindles there was 1/8" movement also, are there bushing kits for them or do they need to be replaced?
