Thanks Sam Mac.
It just seems the clearance on the one shown causes excessive play in and out on the spindle compared to the other two wheels.
I follow you on not preloading them like a car wheel bearing.
I'm pretty sure I was the first person to remove the front wheels on my tractor and only found one washer and the large diameter washer to hold on the hub cap. I don't see any purpose for 2 washers?
Thanks again.
