Hello Gentlemen,
So I just finished tilling up my potato patch, went to park the Kubota 7800 and felt a bump. Got off and the front left tire has fallen off ! Broken off. WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?
I'm a new owner of this used tractor and have little experience with maintenance, certainly with wheels falling off of anything. Feeling stunned. What does this mean? I have no idea. How does this kind of thing happen? Have I wrecked the axle? Will I have to take this to the doctor? Can I buy a part to fix it? It looks serious. I'm pretty sure this is much more than a tire problem.
Enclosing photos to help with diagnosis. Really glad it didn't happen in the middle of the field.
