Tractor had extensive play in rear wheels. It is evident that there were others before me attempting the good the bad and the ugly. Bought new hubs, bearings, seals,etc. Upon disassembly discovered one axle beyond repair. So starting from zero I instaled the left axle using two thick shims and one thin plus gaskets and all seals. After installing all components and tightening axle nut the end play in and out is about 1/8 to 3/16. I have not installed the right axle yet. I have tried to work this out checking the sources available to me short of this post. J & D productions videos, I&T manual, Ford 8n shop manual, Oldfordtractors.com, web. I am lost. Any help appreciated.
