In the spring I moved the wheels on the IH 886. It used to have duals but now has singles with the cast centers and clamps (not wedges). Now I can't keep one side tight. More info:
I was haying one day and stopped for lunch. That's when I saw one tire had walked to the end of the axle. The inner and outer clamps were finger tight. I jacked it up and moved it back. I checked it periodically. Two days later it had moved again. One of the studs was gone. I pulled the clamp out and found that the missing one had snapped off some time before. The broken part was rusty so it must have happened way back when I moved them the first time. Since what was left of the stud only had three threads to bite on, I figured that was why that stud came out.
I STILL have to tighten it every day/10 hours. The outside clamp hasn't loosened but the inside one still does. I have locktighted it and put on lock washers.
What can I go to keep it tight? I've never had this happen in all of my IH years. The axle isn't rusty or have any residue, and the clamp is centered in the opening - one side isn't drawn farther than the other. The threads are good in the clamp. The wheel itself isn't boogered up or cracked that would cause a wobble. I've tried to cover everything I could thinking. I used green locktight - I guess I could buy the nasty strong stuff. Anyone else have this problem? Seems to me a year or so there was a green one that lost a wheel, but I don't think the two bangers have the same setup.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
