Front Wheel Wobbles

[markchustz]

Hi guys, new to the forum, great resourse for me. just bought a L175, has a bad front wheel wobble. I assume the bearing is bad. How much of a chore to replace myself?

make sure tie rods are tight. mine had significant wobble, all i had to do was tighten the bolt.

Are you sure the wheel is not bent ?

can i do the tie rod check visually that with the tire on the ground or do i need to jack it up to check for slack?

As best i can tell the rim in right.

Ok, found out what the problem is. The front tires on this 1975 tractor were dry rotted so i replaced them. When i did i found the rims were all rusted up and extremely warped. Also, bearing on right front had failed.
One bearing fromt he junk yard and two new wheels from Kubota have fixed the problem.
