PSA: Check Your Wheel Center to Rim Bolts
If you've never removed your wheel center to rim bolts, now might be a good time to check them out. I removed the wheels on my B to do some transmission work and noticed that one of the wheel center to rim bolts appeared slightly loose. I went to tighten it and it snapped in half. The result is below. Needless to say, I will be replacing ALL of these. I can only imagine if they sheared off while this tractor was towing a heavy load up-hill, was on a trailer running down the interstate, or had one of my kids driving it.

Re: PSA: Check Your Wheel Center to Rim Bolts
Jim, thanks for posting!! I found mine were nearly as bad on my '53 when I was going through it. Put a wrench on them once in a while too cause they'll come loose occasionally.

Re: PSA: Check Your Wheel Center to Rim Bolts
I have never seen any quite as bad as Urbish posted, but I have seen them with half the bolt gone. Needless to say, they got replaced.
If you are not part of the solution,

Re: PSA: Check Your Wheel Center to Rim Bolts
When you get one rotted as bad as the pictures, remove the nut, and save the threaded stub. Screw it into the hub, to help align the wheel, when installing it. 2 work even better!
