I have a century 3045 with around 90 hours on it. I bought it new 2 1/2 years ago. Last week I heard a popping noise comming from the front of the tractor. My initial thought was bolts were loose but they were not. I then found 2 of the 4 welds that hold the wheel hub to the rim completely broken. This happened on the right front wheel. Has anyone else had this problem? It looks like the welds didn't fuse good into the wheel rim. I hope to get it fixed today but it has been a bear finding someone to do it. The wheel hub bent SLIGHTLY (less than 1/4 ") and I was able to straighten it. I just needed someone to remove the tire, weld it and replace the tire. As a side note I have not had any other problems with this tractor and I am very pleased with it.
