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. Just going to have to leave it alone a while longer.

Hi Brian this bad weather sure does make things enjoyable, got her in an checked stubs they seem to be ok i re adjusted the toe in an what ever was wrong it must have cured it . took it for atest and shes running perfacto again , now to find another swamp GERRY

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

This could have been apossiblity Gerry becuse she was right up to the axels . what ever was causing it after i reset the toe in , imust have relased atwist or pressure of sort on track rods, its working prefect,I supose ill never know
