In Reply to: L35 leaking oil around front axles posted by Brian on Saturday, January 12, 2008:
The issue is the the oil seal around the axle is leaking of the oil seal around the bevel gear case/housing is leaking. Likely the latter because dirt tends to lie there and get ground into the seal, thus destroying it.
W/ those 4 bolts off, pry evenly on both sides, it will come off. It weighs about 80 lbs w/ the wheel off. There are 2 alignment pins holding it that U can't see. There is an O-ring here also
Then remove the 8 or 10 bolts (2 are nuts) from the axle flange. There is an O-ring here. Careful, there is a small split collar around the axel that can fall out when you slide the large bevel gear off of the axle spline.
If the oil is leaking from the axle itself(behind the the plate that the studs are mounted to) then disassemble this part of the assembly above that the wheel bolts to.
If oil is coming from just below the tie rod pivot, near the flange you unbolted then:
Remove plug from the bottom of the small bevel gear housing (near oil drain plug) remove snap ring (U need good snap ring pliers!) and the shim.
Use brass punch, tap out lower bevel gear and bearing. Shaft will then fall out. Remove snap ring up, it holds the top half of that assembly in place. Then separate the 2 pieces. The oils seal on top of the large bearing needs replaces.
I just did this the other day. Had to replace the 3 bearings too. (PN's 08101-06014, 08101-06010 and 08101-06207). The oil seal TA140-13040 is about $25, the bearings are about $60.
Fixed the problem. I can email you the parts manual I got free from tractorsmart.com.
