Leaking at the front driver side wheel, axle seal?

[josem926]

Probably best to just replace both as long as I'm having to drain the whole thing to replace one side, TC6Y628012 194312-32660 which I'm finding at around $35 each on most sites, but the site I bought the transmission fan at wants $32 shipping for these 2 seals? The site gives no alternate shipping options, flat $32. The fan was $20 and shipping $10 from them, so don't know what gives, LOL. There's this other website Rear Axle Seal Front/Rear fits Yanmar YM2010 YM2020 YM2202 YM2301 YM2310 YM2310D YM2402 YM2001 YM2010 YM2020 YM2202 YM2301 YM2310 YM2402 194312-32660 has it for $22 each with $15 flat shipping, is it legit? Is there some other option I don't know of? A WIX like compatible parts finder? LOL And there shouldn't be a need to replace the sleeve?

Is it a weep leak, or is it a pouring leak like this? Mine was in the shop for three seals weeping, which wasn’t bad. Now it’s in the shop for the second repair of this pouring leak. The first repair, the bearing housing was replaced because it was distorted. The second time, they replaced the whole hub assembly. They tested it with more weight than I had been picking up with the FEL. Hopefully, that fixed the issue. I’ll see next week if it passes the test. Btw, my tractor only has 115 hours on it.

I replaced the front axle seal on my Kubota at ~600 hours, it was no more than a 3 hour job. It was a slow weeping leak.

When my kioti had a leaky seal, i just replaced the seals on both sides. Didnt take too long. What i SOUULD have done at the same time was to replace both bearings on each side also.

I think the leak was caused by carrying heavy front loads. A few years later, the outside bearing on left side failed, tookout gears on left side. I could have prevented this expensive repair if i replaced the bearings.
