The Deere 55 Series is a kitted tractor from Yanmar to Deere instead of a completed tractor in JD green paint.
The Deere 55 Series is related to the Yanmar F & FX Series machines. F means gear shifting and FX means PowerShift or PowerShuttle, whatever floats the boat. The FX single numbered tractors like FX6 may not be what you are looking for. The FX20 or so could be your solution.
I do know over the years, smart owner who have rebuilt their axles added Delrin 500 washers to reduce wear. I'm not sure where or how these were assembled with them. These are lubricated-plastic POM material.
Yes, it would be best to see images of the axle and parts.
2 years ago, a Yanmar owner with a 4WD machine was able to find a JD770 front axle that was basically the same as his tractor. Right down to even the OE Yanmar power steering mounting.
I do have a few Yanmar F & FX parts manual PDF books. See the group link above.
Lastly, there are a few Yanmar parts network dealers out there with the Yanmar to Deere cross reference parts books too. Try these two,
