When they have play when you pull or push on the axles. When you get a rhythmic growl or grinding sound coming from them. With the chains removed they don't spin freely and catch or bind or make grinding noises. |

Thanks for your reply, sorry i don't understand your explanation because i am a technecial blind, if possible, can you explain how would the argo react-like pulling or no moving, something like that, and what is the result if leave it alone?
Thanks again! |

Are you experiencing pulling to one side or a wheel not turning? The first reaction/symptom would be the rhythmic noise coming from a worn bearing. The noise would increase frequency with acceleration. If you put it in the water and turn by breaking and you hear a strange noise then it could be bearings.
I doubt you would have a problem with a wheel not turning if you have the chains connected. If you have the chains removed and spin the tire/axle by hand and it doesn't spin or binds and releases then a bearing may be bad. If the flanges are tight and you can grab the wheel/tire/axle and shake it and it moves around then the bearing are worn.
If you are experiencing pulling to one side most likely it is tires not evenly inflated or a brake dragging or the load not evenly distributed in the machine. |
