Odd finding on my A

Charlie M · Mar 22, 2012

Been replacing all the oil seals in the transmission of my A and have asked a few questions here on it. I finally got the driver side done and tonight took off the left side tire and hub. My odd finding is the hub for the left side is very different from the driver side. The driver side is very heavy, maybe a 100 lbs while the left side was light metal, not too much weight, maybe 25 lbs. Was this normal for an A and if so are the hubs on the correct side. There are wheel weights that go on both sides. Is the driver side purposely more heavy due to it being an off set tractor with the transmission weight on the left side?

Yes, you said it. It was to help keep the tractor stable on side hills.

Yep just as it should be unless you have one like I have but it is a mutt. I built a BA half B and half A so it has 5 tires. 2 up front and trike and then 3 in the back. One on the right side and duals on the left side so as to keep it from flipping over easy

Yes, the hub on the side furthest from the transmission is much heavier to help balance things out.
