Front axel chartering

[Drmcd]

I have a dk4510, shuttle shift the front wheels have a vibration/chatter at low speed. It happens in both 2 & 4wd. It is not as noticeable at higher speeds. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this and should I be concerned. Thanks

Bearings?

Loose lug nuts. You need to check them.

Thanks I have already checked them.

Checked what? Any maintenance history? What are the hours on your tractor? When you figure it out….let us know.

Answered the previous question: I checked the lug nuts.
Regular maintenance, oil and fluid changes.
426 hours.
Thanks

Lift wheels of the ground with the bucket grab the top and bottom of wheel and see if there's any play. Also give them a spin by hand and listen and feel for any abnormality.

Could be something broke and 4wd isn't really working. Lock it in, raise it up, turn wheels by hand, rotate them.

Should the wheels rotate freely in 4wd?

Should the wheels rotate freely in 4wd?

If both are off the ground, yes. As you turn one, the other should turn the opposite direction .

Are you familiar with the front axle float adjustment screw? If you face the front of the tractor and crouch down so your eye is at axle level there is a bolt there with a lock nut. This holds the axle tight on the axle. If you lift the front end off the ground with the loader, grab the front axle and try to move it back and forth. There should be almost no play.

The manual in the maintenance section should have a section that shows how to adjust this bolt and it does say this can cause noise.

Check that out.
