    L3430 gaining camber?

    I do use the loader (a lot) with no weight on the back end. Having said that it is usually either firewood, or snow, maybe a couple of hundred pounds. I did move a pile of gravel with it about 2 years ago, but the change in camber appears pretty recent. Maybe things just caught up to me. I am...

    L3430 gaining camber?

    It is leaking oil, not a huge run but a bit, with more on the affected side. I had to add about 1/2 quart in the past 3 months. it is -30 here this morning, so not much of anything is leaking. I have used a steel straightedge and a digital angle instrument to measure the angle using the outside...

    L3430 gaining camber?

    Good idea, and I have done that. I have on several occasions put it on flat ground, and tried to get the steering perfectly " square " to the tractor. Invariably the right side is showing more camber than the left, and this appears to be worsening with time.

    L3430 gaining camber?

    Your right it does look worse in person, but if you look at the second picture it kinda tells the story. I am sure I can get a better picture. I have never body slammed the tractor, but I really got stuck last winter, blowing out the neighbours laneway. I ended up down a grade in a white out...

    L3430 gaining camber?

    I should have noted that the tractor is a 4 wheel drive, so camber should be fixed. I have enclosed two pictures that should help with the visual. I can't get any wiggle anywhere. If there is a bearing gone or something worse, would you not expect the camber to go the other way, with the top...

    L3430 gaining camber?

    I have reviewed the threads for camber, and seem to have a different issue with my L3430, as it appears to be gaining positive camber on the front right, while the left wheel appears to be pretty much straight up and down. Yesterday when pushing some heavy ice crusted snow down the laneway there...
