Front wheels going sideways

Posted by Chas in Me on September 27, 2004 at 18:46:59 from (207.5.184.217):

The front wheels on my small Kubota work themselves side ways. This happens when I am turning and one wheel gets into a rut. the result is one or both wheels cocked sideways and digging up the turf as it moves. Its an L175 with two wheel drive and no power steering. I have lifted the front end and loosenened the nut on top of the spindle that goes down to the hub. Then I would line up the wheel by eye and tightened the nut.
The question is, is there some kind of key in there that might be broken and if so do I have to lift the tractor up high enough to take that spindle out?
If I do that, what is a safe method to lift the front of the tractor?
Thanks for any ideas you share.
Chas
