Last year we purchased a low hour 2003 - 2388 combine. It has factory 18.4x38 duals. While looking it over in our shop pre-harvest, we noticed all four of the Titan wheels had cracks running between the lugs. Took plasma with a V gouge tip, and V'd out each crack, then welded up and ground down smooth before re-assembly. Torqued each lug nut daily for first two weeks during wheat harvest, and check tightness often. They are not running loose. After 500 hours of use, the wheels are now begining to crack out again. Dealer wants $4000 for 4 new wheels. Anyone have a suggestion to cure this problem?
