DK45 service manual - Front axle problem

CajunRider · Jul 10, 2005

I am having a leak on the front axle of my DK45. I will order a service manual. In the mean time, if any one has a DK45 service manual, I'd appreciate it if I can get a few scanned page of the front axle.

Thanks in advance.

Where exactly is the leak coming from? A parts manual would also be very helpful to purchase along with the service.

I am not sure yet. I'll have a look at it today. Since it is on my property, I am not there every day. While waiting until I have time to either fix it or take it to the dealer, if I run in 2WD only, can I still use the tractor with low risk of making things much worse?

How bad is the leak? Is it leaking all the fluid out? If so then I would not use it, but if it is just seeping and not affecting the level then you would be fine to use it.

Most of the fluid has leaked out. The fluid oozes out right the the very end of the axle near the rim of the wheel. I really need the diagram for the part in that area. I am planning to stop by the dealer this coming Wednesday afternoon and order a service manual. I wish I have a scanned copy of the diagram so I can get going a little earlier.
