Just bought JD2020. After a couple days use, I hear a popping noise from left and right wheel (right one is worse) when shifting from forward to reverse and letting out on clutch. Also hear the same noise when stopping with brakes. Mechanic had the wheels off working on brakes before I bought it. Is there any tricks to check the tightness of these wheels? I see three (I think 1 3/8") bolts on outside and three on the inside and then 2 bolts sticking out of outside. Any hints or tricks?

The wheels can come off with the axle housing to work on the brakes. Was the work guaranteed? Do the brakes seem to drag or does the tractor roll freely? If it drags, chances are the brake job wasn't done right. Several things could be causing the sounds, loose bolts, slack in the planetary gears, bad bearings. Did it make the sound before you bought it? It has been many years since I worked on one.

No the tractor didn't make the noise when I bought it, but started within a couple of days. It does sound like it's external, like the wheel. Does a person have to tighten the three bigger bolts on the inside of the wheel and the three on the outside to tighten wheel?

Yes, they hold the tapered wedges in place between the axle and the hub. Jack up the tractor one side at a time. Make sure the two smaller bolts on the outside are backed off (counter-clockwise) as far as they will go. They are used to loosen the wedge to move the wheel and have a snap ring on the end to keep them from coming all the way out, so back them off only until snug. The three on the inside should not have been loosened. To move the wheel, the three larger bolts on the outside are loosened, then the two smaller ones are tightened until the wedge breaks loose. A good rap with a hammer on the heads of the larger bolts will help if it hasn't been too long since they were moved. To me there is less chance of damage here than hitting the end of the axle with a sledge hammer. Then the bolt that is perpendicular to the axle is used to move the wheel on the axle rack. Loosen the two smaller bolts again and tighten the three large ones. A good coat of oil on everything will help make it easier the next time if you plan on adjusting later on. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advise. I am almost positive that it is the wheel making the popping and cracking sounds when taking off and stopping. I can see on the axle where to where has moved some. I went and bought a 3/4" drive socket set from Tractor Supply and I'm going to see what I can do. Thanks again.
