4010 Front Wheel Hubs questions

stano · Aug 2, 2018

We have a 4010 with narrow front now. Just got it. The tractor was my dads since 1963. I think it was made in Oct of 1962. One of the front hubs has three bad bolt holes in a row on one front hub. Also we are really considering a John Deere 4010 wide front for it now.

We have been looking on replacing the one bad front hub and found that there is a heavy duty hub. The one on the tractor now looks like the star design on the back side around the bolt holes and we think it is the standard duty.

Are the spindle and bearing kits the same for both standard and heavy duty hubs? And does the standard hub and heavy duty nub fit narrow front spindles and wide front spindles.

Is there much more stronger in the heavy duty hub, because i know this 4010 ( if the star type is the standard one ) has a few times seen testing used with the loader a few times???

Or what to look for if trading the front axle to wide front and just getting hubs with it.

Thank you for any help your may have..

Heavy and regular hubs all use the wheel bearings. You can use heavy or reg on all 4010 front ends both narrow and wide. Tom

tom is right you can interchange bearings and heavy and light duty hubs from wide fronts to narrow.
the main difference on the heavy duty hub is that there is no STAR as you call it.
the back bolt pattern is a solid ring and gives more thread area for the bolt.
is is quit a bit thicker in that area.
i also believe its a little thicker in the cap area to give it strength.
and yes the star design is the standard or light duty hub.
hope this helps.

You can use longer bolts and put nuts on the backside.

(quoted from post at 01:21:49 08/03/18) You can use longer bolts and put nuts on the backside.

This is what I did on my 4010 to 'fix' a couple stripped lug bolt holes.

Yes we did put a 1/2 inch diameter and a longer bolt all the way threw the hub with a nut on it to get the 4010 home,

glad to hear the hub bearings and splindles interchange. We will be looking for a wide front more now.

thank you guys for your help stano
