Kubota B21 TLB and Case 450 Crawler Loader
I have a B21 TLB and love it. Starting to notice from time to time that when I navigate down a grade, especially with a load in the bucket that I hear a clicking noise as the hydros keep the tractor at speed. Any ideas? IMG_0887.JPG

Tighten the wheels? Clicking sound like it is under my seat.

And the rear wheels are where????? They are near the seat......

Loose wheels are a good place to start and a cheap fix if you catch them early.

And what happens when re-torqing does not stop? Mine has a creaking sound that seems to come from the wheels. However lug nuts are very tight. Should I loosen the lugs and then re-torque them?

Do you have clamp on hubs???? It could be the hubs.

Are the wheel lug nut holes "egged out"? because it wasn't caught in time? If so, you will need to replace the wheels or try to weld them up and redrill.

Guess there's only one way to find out; I'll find out next week when I have time.

Not sure yet. Definitely not the wheels as the sound is under the counsel or rear of engine
