DRIVE SHAFT LEAKING

[warrior1942]

Jd 4400 frond end loader 4wd 2001
The front drive shaft is leaking fluid, the leak is directly above the power steering lines. If anyone has any suggestions on how to repair they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Will look into that on the CD tech manual, if someone doesn't get back to you sooner.

I have the 4300 and am not sure where this fluid is coming from, but may be from the hyd. fluid cooler ahead of the radiator. Might check that out, and be sure the battery hasn't gassed the fins and caused corrosion and a leak. The distance between the battery and the fins are very close and if the battery isn't capped so the off-gas is tubed down below the battery, it can cause corrosion of these fins.

Thanks, will check that out. Where can I order a shop manual cd. Again thanks, any and all help is appreciated.

Your Deere dealer to get the CD. Or on eBay if that is comfortable for you.
