        Doing some brush hogging and hear a 'thump – thump' from right rear wheel. Stopped tractor and found that the center hub shaft is sticking out of wheel?  Then looked on inside of wheel and a bolt was missing. Are these related? What's happened? How do I fix it?  Thanks… (there should be two pictures attached, but maybe I didn't upload them ight???)

            Oh heck, I figured it out! The hub shaft didn't move, it was the collar just behind the wheel that had come loose, with one bolt missing. The wheel was moving inward. I jacked it up, pulled the rear wheel off and then found two of the three remaining bolts on the collar were losse.  Tightened it all up where it should be, and put wheel back on.  Looks good now, although I'll have to buy that fourth bolt.

            And it's 100 F out here today!!!
