## Discrepancy

A CRACK APPEARED ON NOSE WHEEL 3 INCHES TO 4 INCHES LONG ON THE OUTER HALF OF THE WHEEL.  AS THE WHEEL IS INSTALLED, THE CRACK IS ON THE HORIZONTAL SURFACE BETWEEN THE HUB AND THE WHEEL FLANGE.  THE CRACK WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE WHEEL WAS REPLACED WITH CLEVELAND ASSY P/N 40-87D.
