Two winters ago, I noticed that the right front wheel would occasionally lock up and then free itself automatically. I had originally thought that it was only when I was in 4 wheel drive, so I used 4WD sparingly until I could get around to fixing it.
Well we went to California for a year and the tractor sat in the yard. When I returned this winter, we had two major snowstorms, both over 2 feet of snow. When plowing the driveway with the loader, the right front wheel would occasionally lock up, but then it free itself as before. Not a good thing I thought. I though I had better get this fixed soon before I need to do heavy summer work.
Also when I drive there is a clicking sound on the right front side, so I decided now is the time to fix it.
I jacked up the from and took off the wheel hub and the knuckle arm. So far all the bearings look ok to me.
When I spin the left tire, I can hear some clicking in the right side, so it must further inside the front wheel housing underneath the bearing with the bolt on it.

| Rolling Bearing (110). I think the problem is under this bearing. I hope. |
I'm going to have to wait for better weather as rain is forecast for the entire week,
