Ask the boss to put her foot on the brake to see if it disappears, if it does then I would say wheel bearing ;)

would tend to agree, but how much play? if its only "just" noticeable may be able to nip up the centre nut and sqeeeeze out the play. The masters tip ;).

 I beleive they allow a small amount of play at mot time anyway. :y

As Pete says.

repeat 12/6 & 3/6 with Mrs TB's foot on the footbrake.

If the play goes away by an appreciable amount, its the wheel bearing.  If its the same, look for play in the suspension.

Straightforward play at the wheel without the footbrake test is pretty much meaningless and you risk mis diagnosis....   :y

Friends popped over yesterday, so couldn't check. I'll go out and get her to shove her foot onto brake today.

Anyone know a good supplier for them. Too expensive on TC.

Wheel bearings?

Got the same thing on N/S/F of my 'new' tractor ......
Holding the footbrake 'on' makes no difference, so I'll delve further in a day or two.
I'm wondering if the steering idler's at fault ...... Anyone?

Would expect steering idler play to be noticeable at 3-9 o'clock and barely there at 12-6, TBH.  :-/

Play is at 3/9 not 12/6 - that's why I suspect the idler is at fault.

Yup, mine went at only 45k, confirmed by Tony from WIM using above method.

It comes with the whole hub, you can't change just the bearing  :(

I could not find pattern ones on on eBay, so I forked-out for original Vx (which turned-out to be Japanese anyway). They were not on TC at the time but the dealer let me have them for trade price which was then £70 each  :( :(

Not a huge job but you do need a torque wrench capable of 320NM...
