I finally got the nut off, but I think my threads are damaged. It's a IH 986, front axle, wheel was wobbling, I wanted to tighten it, but it had a set screw in it.
How do you think I should fix this?
I have a replacement nut from IH, but it doesn't go on very well, since the threads are bad. Do you think I should put a large wrench on this and just tighten the new nut? Will it tighten and sort-of fix the threads? I have a large pipe wrench, so I think I can tighten it.
Or, Do you think I should buy a very large die and cut new threads in the bolt/top of spindle? I would probably get a shop to do this, since I want it to be straight.
Also, what size is this "bolt," if I could find a die to cut it?
Wait, is a replacement spindle only $100? I assume this is used. Maybe this is a better choice. Thoughts?
