John Deere 2210 Tractor Hydraulic Fluid Leaks. Opinions Needed.

[BigEd358]

Hi All,

I have a 2005 John Deere 2210 tractor that has developed a couple leaks and I'm looking for advice for the best way to repair them.

The first leak, which is pretty significant, is coming from the top of the Power Steering Valve (See pic and diagram). It appears to be coming from the top on the left side, pushing fluid down the side where the plates meet, and running down the front of the mounting plate. In looking at the exploded view diagram, their looks like a Seal is mounted in the upper left side bolt hole. Is this a common leak? I ordered the seal (or packing as JD calls it) and looks like that I can replace it by removing the bolt.

The second leak, is coming from the front 4wd PTO input on the diff (see diagram). It's leaking from the shaft on the diff. Again, i ordered the two collars and the outer bearing, hoping this will resolve the leak. Has anyone done this repair and if so, can it be done without removing the plate from the diff? The JD service techs said yes, but i figured I ask the pro's here instead.

Any help would appreciated!

What part/key number in the drawing did you order for the steering? From what I see in the drawing upper left bolt only has washer key 13 on it. That should not be a source of a leak, but not sure.

For the front axle, I think you need only seal Key 12 in my drawing, and possibly key 16 (if worn) from your drawing

For the Steering valve, I ordered #9, which is called packing, since it's the only non-metalic item that resembles a seal. That hole is larger in diameter that the others so I'm hoping the packing has failed. Unfortunately, until I remove the steering column and top plate I won't know if that's where the leak is coming from.

As for the front diff PTO is where it's leaking. In the diagram I posted, I ordered #16, 13 & 14, just in case I had to go back father to address the leak. I'm hoping these collars and bearing can be removed without removing the diff plate. Have you done this repair before?

Thanks!

The packing, key 9, appears to go on the steering shaft key, 7 not the mounting bolt.

Is your pinion gear wobbling? That would be the only reason you would need the bearings key 13. It looks like you have to remove seal, key 12, then snap ring, key 11, than you can pull the pinion with bearings and spacers. I am guessing the bearings are press fit on the pinion.

No, I have not done these repairs, only looking at the parts catalog. Since no one with a tech manual has replied.
