Good morning folks! Over the weekend, I was driving my cub around, and noticed the right front wheel wobbling a bit. I'm thinking I need to (hopefully) tighten the bearings. My past experience with automobiles and boat trailers tell me to just remove the dust cover on the hub with the wheel jacked up. Remove the cotter pin, and tighten the nut holding the wheel on. I don't have my manuals just yet, so could someone help me out on this? I need to do this quickly, as I hope to move soon, and the shop I have at my disposal right now has concrete floors which are ideal for a floor jack to help out. Does the dust cover on the cub screw off, or is it just about the same as on boat trailers and automobiles of years ago?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Though trillions and trillions of eyes have been watching the skies for as long as human memory exists, no gods nor angels have been seen or documented outside of religion. The number of spaceships being sighted however has become much more prevalent.

The dust cap threads off. Other than that, everything is the same.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Thanks Bigdog...
That info is needed. I'm assuming (oh, I hate that part) that the dust cap is right hand threaded, right?
Thanks,
Rick

You won't need a socket. I always use a pair of channel lock pliers. The nut doesn't get tightened very tight. I usually tighten the nut until the bearings start to drag and then back off to the first castellation and insert the cotter pin. Or were you referring to the size of the cap?

Sunday, make sure the wobble is the wheel bearing and not where the steering knuckle goes on the top of the spindle. if it's one of the old ones with the pointed set screw, they are bad to break leaving the point in side the shaft. If it is broken off, there is a hole on the back side you can stick a punch in and drive the broken point out. learned that last part the hard way after I spent half an hour trying to drill and tap the hardened to point to pull it out.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
you are part of the problem!!!

But thanks anyway.
By-the-way, how are you doing?

Thanks John
I will check for that also. Everything like this especially when the tractor is already jacked up, makes a difference.
