Front wheel wobbles

[George4292]

I have a kubota l245dt just replaced all the bearings and seals for the front wheels and the one side still wobbles. Any help would be appreciated

Jack up front end and rotate each wheel. Look for bent wheel. Also check for proper bearing adjustment.

No bent wheel there is play top to bottom all new bearings how do you adjust bearings

What in this diagram you replace?

 

[George4292]

15, 22, 26 , 21 , 14,18 plus the seals and o-rings

These bushings (Blue) are what controls that movement, not any of the bearings that you replaced.
Be mindful of the shims ( yellow) when you take it apart.

It’s not moving at that spot but more in the hub area where you bolt the wheel

Does the “axle” wobble..? …or is it only the wheel/tire combo?

Wheel tire like it’s bad bearings but like I said I replaced all them it’s moving at the hub area where the tire mounts part number 20 on this first pic with the tire that’s why I’m confused I did bearings on both sides and other side is fine

That indicates improper assembly or failed/missing bearing and/or race…or incorrect parts used.. You’re probably going to be forced to disassemble it again and closely examine your work.

A video of the wobble would be helpful as well.

Guess new bearing could be bad bearing and race are one piece parts were ordered from kubota direct and assembled just as other side
Wondering about wore out shaft on hub sone where is there a spec for it

`There is a good chance that you didn't get the bearing properly seated and it is cocked to one side. The only way to tell is the jack up the front and remove the wheel. Then spin the hub to see if it undulates as you spin it.

I like that word! UNDULATES -

I have played golf on many course that had greens that undulated - it too made me cuss!

I would remove the outer axle and inspect the bearings. You have an inboard and an outboard bearing. You also have the two half moon keepers that sit behind the large gear. Is it possible that those are not in place. This also possible that you have a bearing that is not correct. Maybe the inside diameter is correct but the outside diameter is not fitting tight in the housing. It would take a lot of wear in the housing to create a wobble. All the bearings fit in the housings and on the shafts with a light press fit typically you can tap them on and off without too much trouble.

Jack up one side at a time, do this for both sides as a comparison.

Pull and push on the tire top and bottom, note movement, and any noise to that movement.
Push and pull on the tire front and back, note movement, and any noise to that movement.

Do both directions of actions result in the same amount of movement?
Do both actions cause any noise, like a clunk?

it moves too and bottom and side to side like a bad wheel bearing on a car that’s why I replaced all of them old bearings were exploded bought tractor this way just trying to figure out what to replace won’t let me upload a video

Post the video on You tube then give us a link to see it or email it to me and I'll put it up.

Looks to me that you have case wear.
How tight did the bearing fit in the case?
