Fixing a Wobbly tractor wheel on the $500 David Brown 990

I noticed the tractor was jumpy when letting the clutch out to take off, I checked the rear wheels and found one had side to side movement in the bearing. It turned out to be an easy fix

David Brown's got a wobble
In the right rear wheel.
But for old Marty T
It's no big deal.

He took off the wheel
And then drained the oil.
Took out some shims
As thin as tin foil.

Put it all back together.
Torqued the bolts round the clock.
Went out to the stockpile.
Got a nice scoop of rock.

The David Brown's wobble
And the pot hole are gone.
I think we're all ready
To see the next one.


Thanks for the fun Marty T. :-)

Your a typical New Zealander. Self sufficient and a gentleman.

Stunningly beautiful country! Your expertise is appreciated.

That access road is going to look like state highway one.
You will now need a 12 tonne vibrating roller that's been lost in the bush for 10 years for 200 dollars.
Now I m late for work
Thanks for the videos Marty 😊

Sheep: Feed me.
Side of rust prevention, grease also makes the parts move easier, quiter moving, etc.
What a wonderful view.

[bsimpson]

I love the big O ring and grease to protect the shims. now grease up the removed shims, label them up and hang em up in the shed (thumbs up)

This guy not only has the smoothest driveway but also the most obedient goats in his part of the world. Great video as always Marty.
