4720 front knuckle seal procedure?

[waycoolmarine]

I have done a bunch of those deere and Kubota are very similar , I use to do them with the knuckle still on the tractor laying on my back , that's not the easy way pop the tie rod off and take the 4 bolts out that hold the assembly to the axle housing , and take it to the bench . when ordering the seal also order the bottom plug . you can lighten the assembly by removing the 10 bolts are remove the hub .it has to come off anyway , when you pop the plug out and look its self explanatory snap rings and a gear. the older smaller tractors use a spanner nut with a locking tab washer .

You best send a PM to Joe with your email so he can send that .pdf.

We'd be interested to hear more about your work on the 4720.. and we like pics too.

Does anyone know the proper procedure to replace the knuckle seal on an 09 JD4720? I'm assuming that's what it is called, it is the pivot point where the front wheel turns, not the very outer wheel seal. This seal is about 4" in diameter. Just don't want to take anything apart that I don't have to or anything that will get me into trouble. Any advice is appreciated.
