I have a John Deere 2020 and have a leak at the bottom pivot shaft for the three point hitch (sorry if I haven't used the appropriate technical name for this part). I have purchased an I&T JD-37 manual and still cannot seem to find a graphic to show me how to fix this leak or what seal is needed and weather it is an exterior seal or interior. So far it doesn't make much sense to me because this shaft seems to be simply a pivot shaft for the lower arms of the three point hitch. Can anyone help me out with this. I'm off to buy another 5 gals. of fluid and hope I don't have to buy alot more. Thanks.

I just replace the seals on my 2020 load shaft. Here how you do it. Take the collars of one side of the load shaft and plastic hammer the load shaft out the other side. Oh Yeah, drain out all the fluid first. There will be an O-ring and plastic seal that will need to be dug out with a small pick. The new seal kit will be 2 O-rings and 2 plastic seals. Take the new O-ring and put it in the groove first. The plastic seal is a little tricky but if you heat it first in hot water you can fold it like the letter C and fit it in the groove. Carefully put the load shaft back in carefully throught the other side. replace fliud and collars. I did not have to take the tire of on mine, but you may have if it needs be. Good Luck

Larry, Thanks for the response. One question though, did you have to remove the rockshaft housing to insert the o ring and plastic seal or could you do this job from the exterior? Thanks for your help.

I did it from the outside. You will need to soften that plastic seal in order to get in the groove. Soften it and form it so it looks like the letter C and you will be able to fit it in.
