Need a reminder...

I'm hoping to pack the bearings on the 65 cub this week or next. Planning on just jacking up one side high enough to get the front wheel off and putting a stand under the axle for extra support, rinse and repeat for the other side. Been searching to find if I need to block the front when working on the front tires, or if it's just needed when doing the work on the back end.

Thanks

IMHO you should be fine as long as the rear wheels are on firm surface. On the other hand, the extra measure of wedging the pivot at the front axle won't hurt anything and is a good safety habit to practice.

Seems like letting one side of the front axle lift up without twisting the whole tractor, would be easier...

I agree, you really don't want to wedge the front axle when jacking up just one front wheel otherwise you're creating a twisting force on the tractor.

Simply use a floor jack under the pivot point to lift both front wheels off the floor. Then place a jack stand under each side of the front axle and lower the the Cub to rest on the jack stands. Problem solved and both tires/wheels are able to be serviced.

Thanks, was able to get out yesterday and get the front end greased.
