weeevr 2 #12 Posted October 24, 2018 Sorry, been busy thanks for the reception C111, 79, bought at a yard sale 'bout 10 yrs ago, cheap 2 decks, snow plow, wheel weights & chains saw last week the r. side axle stickin' out about 2-21/2". jacked it up and had that much in & out play in it.use it in the fall to tow a big leaf vac. leaf season is NOW so need it pronto. so the "take it apart & fix it" thing is off the table. drove to ohio today & picked one up I bought on ebay so as all that needs to happen next is to swap it out & go this is gonna happen tomorrow. thanks again for all the info, i'll keepya posted 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,869 #13 Posted October 25, 2018 Sounds like a "C" clip, that holds onto the axle, came off or broke. It will not take much to fix that after you get the leaves picked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weeevr 2 #14 Posted October 30, 2018 Got it all up & runnin' today, pretty easy swap. saw axles with the snap ring & some with roll pins, didn't know what was in there. axle moves horizontally a coupla inches but doesn't come out so didn't make sense that a retainer that's 1/8" thick could be the issue. somewhere down the road if & when I find the ambition, I guess i'll see. thanks fot the pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
