Loader Kubota B21 Clicking down hills

   / Kubota B21 Clicking down hills #11  
I finally investigated my creaking. Lug nuts very tight, so that wasn't it. Removed one wheel and discovered the hub easy loose, and the pins were gone. It's a wonder the wheels didn't fall off! I decided to move the hubs outward one hole, install new pins and tighten the wedge bolts. I did both wheels, and the noise was gone completely. An easy Fix, and I learned the wheel attachment system.

I own a B21, don’t have clicking but can you tell me about moving the hubs outward?

Not sure if the B2410 and your B21 are the same, but it was pretty simple. First, I looked to see which hole the pins were supposed to go through vs other holes in the axle. In my case, there was another hole in the axle outboard of the holes that should have had a pin through them (remember, I had no pins in use at all).

I jacked it up so one wheel was off the ground. Then removed the wheel lugs and the wheel. That exposed the hub. I loosened the bolt that held the hub on the axle and simply slid the hub outward to the next hole. Put the pin in it and tightened the bolt to keep the hub tight on the axle. Then put the wheel and tighten the lugs.

Then switch sides and repeat. The bolt that holds the hub on is the key to making this work. It is designed to wedge the axle against the hub. Fairly simple once you see it in person, but hard to describe.

Hope this helps you.

Be 2410? Mine is a 2007 B21 I don’t see pins or holes in my axles. What year is yours or how do you tell the series of B21?

I guess the 24 series and the 22 series are different... Can you see axle sticking outward of the wheels? If not, the wheels may be out as far as they can go. I'd strongly recommend finding a service manual for your series and looking there.

Did you have any attachments on the rear of your machine? I have a backhoe. Can this be done with that installed?

It appears the person posting does not have a B21, so the comments only relate to his own machine, not your original question/problem/thread relating to your machine. A B21 has fixed axles.

When i looked under my machine it looked like a fixed axle. Which I knew what the noise is.
