if you are sitting in the seat on the left side every time the wheel makes a complete round there is a loud clunk. what is this and how can it be fixed?
 
I also think it is loose clamps on the rim.
Sometimes they wear from being loose and you have to put a thin piece of tin between them and the rim so they clamp tight.
Jack up the rear of the tractor and spin the wheels. If they are loose you will see it.
 
Wheel cams need to be worked on before you have a flat as in the wheel falling flat on the ground and believe me if it happens you will not like it and you may have the change your pants
 
Does your rim have the four bumps on it or is it another type? Ours looked to be in good shape, but all the bumps were worn and cracked. Had to weld up the inside and outside. If it is loose it will probably wear much faster or cause some damage.

We also replaced a few of the non-eccentric clamps with eccentric clamps and welded some stops on the bumps so that the hub can't spin in the rim.
 
You can by the way also get a clunk when the splines are mostly gone on the axle. Jack it up and shake the tire/rim as you turn it, look and listen.

I am surprised that was not the first thing you did.
