l175 rear wheel tows out

[lance.kressin]

i have a l175 i bought used. i noticed today that the right rear tire and wheel tow way out. Looks like an overloaded trailer. Does anyone know what could be causing this, what it takes to fix it and can i run it for a little while to move snow or park it till its fixed. Thanks in advance.

The bearings are out of the axle. Probably already ruined the axle in the seal area. Continue to use the machine will also damage the axle housing. Remove wheel and 8 nuts holding axle housing to chain case.

I was thinking the same thing but did not want to say the bad news.
