Hi gents,
I’m having issues breaking my front left stub axle. I am on my third one in 1.5 years. It’s getting old dropping 350 on a repair every time. Admittedly it is when I have a load in the bucket but after the first one I have began to be more careful and it keeps happening. Yesterday it snapped off with a load of snow in the front bucket… certainly not so heavy it should have broken again.
Is there anything I should be looking at that may be out of alignment? Tow, camber, ballast weights etc?
I did have the tire ballast removed from my left rear when I got a flat a few years back. I did this so I could get the tire off and to a shop easier for repair when flats occur or anything else. Would that be doing it? I have countered this by making sure I have a heavy implement off the three point when using the bucket… Ie during the summer I have the box blade off the back and during the winter I have a snowblower on.
Any help would be appreciated I sure am tired of replacing stubs. Thank you.
