I recently had a conversation over the rear rims on an L Series breaking (cracking) at the lugs. As luck would have it there is one here for service that is showing signs of deterioration at 58 hrs.
My experience in the repair field is quite extensive yet I am only one year into Kubota service.
The wheel in this case is a two piece with a 17.5L-24 loaded R4.
So my questions are...Is there an issue with the torque settings on the lug bolts?
My knowledge of spring washers tells me that they can loosen with the type of stress that a wheel would apply on the load value of the bolt.
The next question would be...Why does this particular machine not have flat washers accompanying the spring washers as other machines do?
I welcome any advice or question, pls be patient for a response as I also need to be putting hay up.
