Tires Front tires shakey on road????

[NCGMAN]

Went down the road today to borrow a scrape blade and in third gear going pretty fast (no maxed ) the front tires started wobbling back and forth. Slowed down and they stopped. Speed up;;; wobble....
What is causing this??? What is worn out???? What do I have to order now????

i am guessing maybe wheel bearing or ball joint

In addition to check out all the steering components I'd look at tow-in setting and/or bent wheels.

My 2610D did the exact thing yours is doing...

1st check tow end
2nd check the piviot bearings/pitman arms on top of the front axle.

my brass bushings were worn out...had to pull pitman arms and replace bearings they are cheap mine wore about $7 each

Please note if these bearings are bad and you have a 4X4 tractor the bad bearings will allow the gear housing to be out of allignment and the lower gears in the lower housings will chew up the lower housing seals...

In my case previous owner did not service tractor much and not only were the pivot bearings bad but the pivot itself was worn....too expensive to replace pivot (over $170 each side) so I just pull pitman arms once a year and put in new bearings...

Your correct. These problems will also be more noticed with heavier weight on the rear end resulting in a light front end and at higher speeds.
