the front axle bearing on my TO35 makes a noise,
I replaced the bearing a few years ago,
it was my understanding not to put any type oil lube on this bearing.
it was to be lubed with graphite,
I have tried spray graphite and powder graphite, but in a while it still makes a noise.
I do jack the front of the tractor up so lube goes to the contact area of the bearing
any suggestions for another better lube material is appreciated.
I have tried spray silicone, but again it does not last long.
in this dry time there is more dust and dirt in the air and I have washed the radiator out a few times, so some water has flowed down onto the bearing, this could be causing bearing noise problem.
maybe I do not need to wash radiator out, just blow it out???????
any suggestions are welcome.
