Has anyone had experience replacing the rear axle seals on a TO-30? My local dealer recommends just replacing the one at the end of the axle housing. It is the easiest to replace and usually takes care of the oil leak problem.

Yes, that might work ok. But while you are in there, it is easy to pull the axle and just take the whole axle to the dealer and have him replace the other seal, about $35 in my area. You may want to replace bearings at same time, probably not much more than for the price of the bearings. My 2 cents.

The dealer is right as you need a special tool to access the second seal. I did mine (TO 35) this summer and nothing leaks. Does your brakes slip somewhat? If so when you will remove the drums check the thickness of linings and if they look ok but are full of oil, after you finish installing seal and put back axle, take a rag and gaz and clean them as best you can letting it absorb the gaz. Then let it dry thoroughly and take a small propane torch and heat the liners until you see the oil boiling to the surface of liners which will smoke and dry good. It takes patience not to overly burn them but the oil should smoke it's way out. Be careful of course to let the gaz evaporate before you attempt this. My tractor now locks wheel on asphalt.

PS You will probably do one wheel at a time, jack it up sufficently on the side so the oil does'nt come out otherwise you should drain it completely.

Good Luck and be careful.
