Hi all,

My right front wheel squeaks when I have a load in the bucket. It's quiet otherwise. Anyone know if there is something I need to grease or fix?

Thanks! :thumbsup:

First thing would be to take it off, clean and inspect everything, check the parking brake plate and pins for proper operation. Then inspect for wheel motor seal leakage. Put it all back together again and see if it goes away.

I agree. The 422 is a small machine, and it's not that hard to pull that puppy apart and take a good look.

My first thought is that the bolts that attach the wheel are not properly torqued.
