Hello,

When replacing the front wheel bearings and felts, should the felts be saturated with grease or oil of any kind? Or should the felts be replaced dry?

Also, is the color of the fan green or did JD make a yellow version? I have a used fan that appears to be yellow as the first paint layer next to the metal.

The felts I bought from JD for my "D" about 3 years ago came dry. They fit very tightly on the sealing surface so I coated them with grease just in case they might heat and damage the sealing surface.

Regarding the grease, I recommend hi-temp synthetic grease. I find that the regular (cheap) grease thins and runs out of the felt wheel seals and the fan shaft seals.

I haven't bought any felts in awhile,but the ones I used to get from Deere were allready plenty saturated in somekinda grease and plenty would squeeze out when you tightened them up.It takes 2 per hub. If the new ones are dry then you should soak them in oil maybe ?

The backsides of fans up to the 201,000 serial numbers may of been yellow,BUT you will find plenty of controversy on this. Bottom line is-- It's your tractor paint it what you like.

you sure about two per hub? I think the manual shows soaking them in motor oil.

What you pull out will look like one small one after many years in there. I'm 99.9 % sure it's 2 per hub they draw up in and really seal tight when new. The parts books will show the quantity.

That's the only reason I brought it up as I think alot of people only think 1 per hub because what they pull out is so worn out.
