dexta pulling to one side

Post by GERRY »

Hi all, I have been out turning over a bit of land when i got the dexta boged down , had to get her pulled out , since i have found that when i am driving i have to hold the steering wheel tightly or the wheel will spin voilently to left , before this i could let go of wheel and she would drive in a straight line without any problem, i cant see anything visibly wrong , any ideas what i might have damaged, Gerry

Sounds like you have bent a stub axle. Check that your marks on the axle still line up when the wheels are straight ahead.

Other problem could be brake sticking.

I tried to plough some land for potatoes yesterday. Nuffy spent more time spinning than ploughing. :roll: Just going to have to leave it alone a while longer.

If you got bogged in could some mud/soil have got into the rear brake drum on one side causing it to bind?
