Jack Up Tractor and Inspect Wheel Play

What happens here

First, use a floor jack to lift the rear of the tractor, raising the problematic wheel off the ground. Once lifted, place a jack stand securely underneath the tractor's axle to ensure stability and safety during the repair. With the tractor safely supported, attempt to manually rock the raised wheel back and forth. The wheel shows significant wobble, indicating a loose bearing or a damaged axle, contradicting the initial thought of a brake issue due to the lack of free play in the wheel itself.

Goal: Safely lift the tractor and check for play in the wheel.
