I have just over 100 hours on my 4300. I have kept fairly close tabs on my lug bolts since I purchased this tractor a year ago. About two weeks ago I was very surprised to discover ALL of my left rear lug bolts loose. The wheel was chewed up a little which may cause a problem in the future, but for now it seems to be fine. I tightened them back up and it was work getting them back in (roughly 3-5 turns each). I checked the other side and they were PERFECT. I backed a couple off on the right side to compare the effort required to get them torqued down and I had no problem at all. At the time I chalked this up to a less than perfect seat on the left side rear tire (but I may have a thread problem). Looks like I need to jack up the rear end of the tractor and check it out. Seems like John Deere may have a manufacturing problem to address under maintenance for all of us.

Paul,
Have you ever been in a situation when one of your wheels was freely turning (ie you were really stuck before you engaged the lock.

Thanks,
