- Cub Cadet #6284 Compact Tractor and John Deere Z710A. Z710A
I just installed new #721-0497 Oil Seals last month on this CC 6284 front axle housing. Today, while working the tractor I notice the fluid leaking on both sides. These oil seals I purchased from a Cub Cadet dealer and they are the correct ones for the tractor. Surely, the axle shafts are not the culprit, as I check them for any wear or bad arears. I installed them as instructed with the lip seal facing in.
When I installed them, I filled the axle unit with new 80-140 gear oil, and to the top fill plug as instructed in the manual.
I might try another brand of oil seals and a smaller axle lip.
