What's the most likely problem, bent rim, bad bearings, or lockouts out of adjustment? It's noy noticeable until 4th gear on the road. The D-14 and D-17 both give you a wobbly ride down the road. thanks

Your tires probably have flat spots from sitting too long in one spot.

I think Gary has it right, take it for a three or four mile ride and see if it smoothes out.
Also, when you tighten the wheel cams, always do it from the bottom up. Then you can usually get them all turned to the stop.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

I agree with Gary and Ted. Usually happens if the have been sitting a long time without moving.

Had the same problem with Dad's tractors when I went to NY. Took them all for a drive until they smoothed out and then turned around and really opened them up. The teeth were chattering but not because I was cold. Probably would have been easier on the teeth if I could only have kept my mouth closed but that wasn't possible with the great big smile I'm sure was there.

Some of the problem is the nature of the power adjust wheel...there is no positive stop every rail, so they don't always wind up in the perfect position. I try to drive the tractor a couple of tire revolutions before I tighten the eccentrics or wedges just to help everything line up better. Flat spots on the tires will give more of a "wallow" - side to side movement. I hadn't run my D19 for about 2 months and had it out the other day, went straight to road gear for a job down the road. I had a backache by the time I got there....after hooking up the chisel plow the flat spots must have been exactly 90 degrees out of sync! The trip home was much more enjoyable.....

Check your air pressure. Rear tires should be 15 or less. I run around 12 pounds on the larger tires and 10 or less on my small tractors.
