hi all, i have a leak in the front passenger side hub, pic below, is this just a seal kit, does any one have a part number? any specifics i need to look out for
thanks in advance

it looks similar to my 4310 which I replaced the front seal

it's easy to replace the seal but you should have a press as one bearing is a press fit

you could take it to a machine shop for the press work

one other question, as long as there is plenty of axle fluid, is it ok to run the tractor till the part comes in, it doesn't seem to leak while rolling, just when stopped
thanks

i finally got the hub off, quick question, do i just take the ring clip off to get to the seal that needs replaced, just thought i'd ask before i get in there
thanks

you probably will have to press the shaft out of the inner bearing and slide it out of the flange

the seal will probably be pressed into the flange

the seal may be good , it may be an obstruction keeping it from pressing against the shaft

I think that Deere addressed this to some extent. Are you running 80-90 gear oil or low viscosity hydro? They made some gear changes when they switched andthey might have changed seals too.

What's the year of your machine?
