Getting a clunk and popping noise on left rear wheel of 1999 Kuboda L3010.
Suspect bad wheel bearing. If so, how involved is the repair ? If it is more than I can handle, any idea as to how much it would cost to have the dealer do the repair

Aside from asking a dealer for an estimate, why not get yourself a shop manual for the tractor. I'd bet Messicks have them. They you can see what is there and maybe a section on tearing it down.

Check the wheel bolts between the rim and disc. It is most likely that they are loose.

whitetiger!

I sent a private reply but wanted to post an open reply to give you credit for a correct diagnoses. The problem was indeed the bolts attaching the rim to the disc. One was missing and one was loose. I am having all 4 replaced. Thanks for your help.
