Hi Folks. I recently purchased a side distributor 8N. Tractor runs great, starts easily and carries 40-60lbs of oil pressure. Unfortunately it has the classic side to side movement issue when I grab the top of the rear tire and shake it.
From the research I've done, this is a somewhat common problem and is centered around the soft hubs.
My questions are: How much play is acceptable? How big of a job is it to replace the hubs? Is there a "Kit" that has the hubs, seals and everything needed to do this repair and if not, what all is needed to fix this properly? If I replace them and the repair is done properly, how long is that repair likely to last before the hubs need to be replaced again?
Thanks for the insight!
