Has anyone ever seen or used the updated rear seal for the 3010 -3020? Have you had any issues with it, it looks pretty funny. I am just wondering how well it works. Thanks for any comments!!

Which updated seal? There have been two updates since the orginal seals. The most recent just within the last year or two. My opinion is that the newest was introduced because the previous one had a bad habit of walking in at about 4500 hours when installed in the newer aluminum rear-seal retainers. I've never seen one do it in the iron retainers, which a 3010/3020 has. And yes, the unitized seals give good service and are a cinch to install. I've installed several of the latest ones already, and although they look funky, I expect they'll work great.

G-MAN, Thanks for the comments, yes i was referring to the most recent. I have the tractor apart and the old seal(I am guessing the first update) looks as though it would work a lot better than the newer one. I just didn't want to put the tractor together and have it leak. I also have another question for you. This tractor is a powershift and I was thinking about maybe changing out the clutch packs, is this an extremely hard thing to do? I have the manual I was just wondering if you or anyone else had done this before. Thanks again for the advice.

There is nothing difficult about removing, disassembling and checking the clutch pack. Removing the brake-pack/planetary assembly is more involved, and I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you strongly suspect trouble at this time. They're usually pretty trouble-free as are the clutch packs, but we usually pull the clutch packs and check/reseal them while a tractor is split just for cheap insurance. The 8- and 15-speed Deere powershifts are easier to work on than the synchro-range and quad-range trannies, in my humble opinion. I've been into a bunch of powershifts, and you're smart to look into it while you're there. That's a good time to inspect the tranny pump, disks and plates, and replace the piston seals and belleville washers that return the pistons, along with replacing the input seal. Standing the clutch pack up with the input shaft pointed down into a big round-hole jackstand or homemade fixture makes them easy to unstack. And although the book will show using the spring compressor tool and a press to remove the pistons from the housings, you can actually get by without one if you're careful. Congrats on having the proper manual for what you're working on, as the right service manual would answer the overwhelming majority of questions on this board. Drop me an email if I can be of any more help.

Thanks G-MAN!!

Before I took it apart, the tranny was pretty slow getting into seventh gear. It would jump a few times and seem to slip before engaging, then once it was in it was good to go. Do you think that would be something else besides the clutch packs? Maybe pressure or the valves or something?

Thanks

You could have low operating pressure or a leaking trans element that takes a little longer to fully engage. Your manual should lay out the troubleshooting methods for determining which.
