Have a 93 7100 rear tires loose. I read about it’s a hub problem but if you replace the hubs don’t you replace the rims too. What about the axles?

The hubs are separate from the rims and the axles.
You can replace the hubs without doing anything else.

Hubs and rims are separate - the hub typically get wallowed out. The rim, unless the lugs were loose - should be fine.

Now - the axle should be fine - that's a heavy piece of steel, unlikely damaged.

One way to use the worn hub is to shim it, and crank down on the bolt and MAKE sure the safety pin is still in use.

Thank you for your insight. I was thinking that just these hubs were done it’s a 93 model I’m the second owner she has always lived inside. Still inside it’s my diesel wheelbarrow. Kubota Canada wanted 451. each got a pair from A&I for 212. plus shipping coming from BC
