Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the front axle seals leaking?The seal that is leaking is the one where the final gear case/hub and counter shaft housing come together. From what I can tell the reason it is leaking is because the drag arm bushing on top is worn allowing the wheel / final drive assembly to be loose as I can move the wheel/final drive about a quarter inch in and out where the drag arm and bushing ride on the pin on the counter shaft housing. Sorry for the greek to all without the manual in front of them. If anyone out there has changed the bushings, seals or bearings in one of these or a Bolens Id like to know what im getting myself into. Thanks in advance
