Sloppy front end. B7200HST

Hi all, My "new" B7100 has movement towards and backwards at the pivot point, when you turn the wheel. If you put in a spacer/shim at the pivot point, would you put it towards the front or rear?

How about one on either side? That'll keep the axle centered in the pivot. Also, on some older Kubota's there is a bolt that you can tighten to snug up that pivot point, not sure if the B7100 has it though.

Do not try putting any shim in it, there is a nut on the front of the pivot bolt. A wire clip is run thru a castle nut, remove the clip, snug the nut, back off to the first hole, reinsert the clip.

Thanks that is a lot simpler!

White tiger said that the b7100 has the nut. Now all I have to do is climb under it! Beats taking things apart.
