Axle play On ym155d

[tractordriver]

I have A ym155d That the rear axle seal is leaking. Before i just replace the seal i want to make sure the bearings are good. There is a very slight amount of play.
Is this normal or should there be zero play. I would like to here from someone with experience with this tractor model or ym1100, ym1300, ym135 And (d) as the axle is different than larger tractors. I also have a ym2000 That the seals both leak any advice. I have seals for both already thanks hoye. Also ym1300 parts tractor Thank you.

I don't have any hands on experience with the YM155D, but here are a couple of scans from the service manual. It looks to me, in (4) under the Rear Axle Shaft Assembly, that there should be no play between the rear axle housing and the bearing. Hope this helps.

The scans don't look so good when you click the link but they are legible if you enlarge them.
