Anyone else have an issue with the rims popping or clicking when on a side hill? I've tightened them a much as possible,even used a 4' cheater pipe. Clamps fit tight. Have the correct fine thread nuts and bolts.

All 4 clamps are really tight fitting.
Have to tap them down with a hammer to
get the nut on....... Had some on
another tractor that I welded a little
on to make fit, they were sloppy loose

Replace the stop clamp with a regular clamp. Weld a bead to the tail of the clamps and grid smooth to fit into the slot, other wise the clamps bottom out on the wheel, Or grind a bunch off the back side of the clamps. The clamp needs to be tight against the rim not the wheel

Explain clamp needs to be tight against rim not wheel. Thanks
If there is any ware at any of the contacts points of the clamp, wedge all you are doing is tightening the wedge flat against the wheel.. The ware points need to be eliminated, welding!! so when tightening up the bolt you are actually wedging the clamp between the wheel and the rim. If you would have ever had a mounted two row cornpicker on a 960, with the rear wheel disc turned out and the wheel spun all the way out, you learn what wheel popping is all about and take means to fix it!!
Ford calls it a clamp, I call it a wedge. On the back. tail of the wedge weld a small bead and regrind so it fits in the wheel slot. Look at the
wear pattern in the wheel. Even the wheel can be worn from the track if it has be loose long enough. These wheels was not on of Ford's better ideas.
I have herd them pop coming of the truck new ,from the factory
