Baelee: Those horseshoe looking devices are usually clamped on, one on each side of one wheel. Only one set came with a tractor and from there you moved them to the wheel you needed them for. Look at your back wheels near the axle, if you have the irons the wheels looks quite different from each other.
Some folks have removed these, and they got separated from the tractor at sale time. I could never understand why this happened, may as well leave it on last wheel one used it on. It had to be torqued tight for operation, thus on the wheel was best place for them. Those wedges if properly tightened are at 500 ft-lbs.
Some folks claim if you break one wedge loose, you can strike top of axle with a big hammer and other wedge will pop loose. An IH serviceman told me that was a great wat to destroy axle bearings. Besides, if the wedges were tightened to 500 ft-lbs. I don't think the hammer trick will work.
