After the last preparation for Thursday's tractor tour, I made a final test run this evening.
Suddenly I heard a cracking/squeaking sound from the rear wheel/axle during driving.



Lately I mounted wheel weights, so I thought the bolts were fastened too tight.
But then again, that wouldn't make a noise during driving? I didn't see any cracks in the weights from the outside.
My next bet is a broken bearing.

The seal/gasket on the right wheel has been leaking since I have the tractor (6 years).
I have been using my tractor for some sand moving (about 750 kg/1650 lbs) with my rear loading bucket a few weeks ago, so I guess the bearing was already
weak and broke during that job?
Do you have any other thoughts about this issue?
Should replace the bearing on the left wheel as well?
I guess it's better not to drive 80 miles with my tractor at this stage?
