Bent Axle?

[traderfjp]

I noticed that one of my back tires is bent in. The other tire looks straight. At first I thought maybe the rim is loose so I jacked that side up and the tire is on properly. Could it be a bent Axle. If so is that covered under warranty? Thanks

if the axle is properly hardened, it would snap, and not bend, I can't imagine a soft axle..

Does it turn evenly and not wobble?

I guess also, there is Axle as in housing and Axle as in Shaft. Housing should be cast and not bend, shaft should be steel, can bend and the wheel would wobble.

I'd be interested in your finding when you dig into deeper.

Yes, I would be curious to hear if the wheel wobbles.... a bent rim. To be at that angle, you would think something that was cast, would have broken and not bend.

Measure from the tractor to the rim top and bottom both sides and see what the difference is ....

I found the problem. Looks like the rim is coming apart. I guess it's welded and not one piece. I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow. Does anyone know if I can bring it to any dealer?

Yes any LS dealer should do warranty work....

More like a bent or improperly installed wheel.
