Although I'm sure it's that way for a reason, I am trying to figure out why. I noticed last night on my tractor that the nut on the "axle" or "spindle", where it passes through the axle has a little play in it. I know there is no bearings in there to chew up, but you 'd still think it would be tightened all the way down. I lifted the front of the tractor, and the front axle came up before the wheel did. It's hard to explain, but the pic below might help. Between the nut and the axle is about an 1/8" gap, but the nut is tight.
Is it there to absorb movement of the front axle, or what?
Thanks,
Greg
