Years ago I had a set of duals on a ton come loose. Broke several studs. I noticed the vibration and caught it before they flew the coup. Cause... wheels were not tightened properly by the tire shop that had recently installed new tires. Next incident I had a tractor break it's axle retaining bolt and the shaft walked it's way out of the carrier. That was a bit of an interesting experience trying to get stopped on a 15% grade at 20 mph with 5 ton behind me... then hauling it home (carrying) with another tractor, by it's own drawbar because it was now on three wheels. Cause was likely that I had over tightened the axle bolt some time previous when I'd changed the brakes and wheel seal. Worst scare I ever had was a set of duals coming loose on the tandem. I caught that in the mirror (could see them wobbling) as I was coming to a stop sign before turning onto a fairly major highway. Lucked out that time and jacked it up and got the nuts tight enough to get it home... but it ruined the two aluminum wheels as the holes were wallowed out. I was just lucky it didn't ruin the pilots on the wheels or hub. That was an expensive lesson in buying two new wheels AND the 3/4" torque wrench I should have bought a week before.

Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
