Working on my 4440, at a buddies shop.
I know i saw in a thread some where, you said any time you have the left side axle housing off to check the left side diff bearing.
My buddy has worked at jd for many years, he has never had to replace that bearing, he has never even heard of the bearing going bad.
Can you just undo the bolts and pull the bearing out? My buddy thinks the diff oil line is on that side and the bearing wont pull out. But isnt sure.
I have no idea, this is the first time i had the axles off.
He is also worried that if the bearing does need to be replaced, he doesnt like the idea of a new bearing on one side and the old used bearing on the other side. Have you had any problems with this?
Please clear this up for us, please and thank you!
