New M owner question

I just got a 1948 M that has the original paint and decals although the paint is not in great condition. I already love the little bugger, but I have a question or two while I wait for the manuals to arrive.

First, I am not real familiar with this model and I have a question about the rear wheels. The strange thing is that on the left wheel, it looks like the hub has been welded to the output shaft from the drop axle. There is no bolt or any other attachment device I can see. I assume this is a previous "repair" that someone made to the tractor.

The right side hub has a large bolt going through the middle of the hub. There is a slight wobble to the wheel which indicates to me a problem with the drop axle on that side. At first I thought the bolt just needed tightening and it may be that it does, but I don't have a wrench anywhere large enough to turn it.

Can anyone shed some light on the possibilities here. I have seen other Ms but I just never looked at the hubs that close.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Best regards,
BB

That shaft is suppossed to have a nut on the end that is there to nominally hold the inner hub to the shaft, but on my M I couldn't get the inner hub off even after removing the nut. That shaft goes into a big gear inside the final drive housing and I have been told that they have to be pressed on and off. Hope this information helps.
