Does anyone know whether or not the felt seal in the rear axle of a 176,000 series B tractor can be removed and replaced without pulling the axle itself? The I&T manual says to pull the axle. The parts book makes it appear that the seal can be replaced without pulling the axle.

I have a 35' B that I am in the process of restoring. Yes you have to pull the shaft out to replace the felt. It is not that big of a job. Like the other guy said, pull off the back cover, then pull the cotter pin out of one side remove the nut and use a pry bar to push one side out, then the other. Yes the felt retainers from a early styled b work. Brian Nielsen

Dick,

As Will said the precess is really not complicated, I am in hte middle of doing my 37 B I have to go pick up the inner and outer seals at the JD dealer on Sat. It would be best to do both sets of seals if you have it apart.

If you need any info juet e-mail me

Dick, I hate to tell you but you will have to pull the axle to get your seal out. Im unclear as to why you want to replace it. If you are seeping a little oil you will have to replace the inner seal near the bull gears. The outter seal only holds pump grease for the outter axle bearings. Pulling the axle is not that bad. Just remove your powr-lift if so equipped or whatever back you have. Pull the key out of the nut on your bull gear. Loosen the nut on your bull gear. The nut will not come all the way off until the axle is pushed out some. There is not enough space for it to come all the way off before pushing the axle out some. To push the axle out take a bar and wedge it between the axle you are pushing out and the nut of the axle that is staying in. As you push the axle out it will push the outter felt seal and retainer out. Deere has the felt seals, and if you replace your inner oil seals your local parts house should be able to help you out with them. Please ask questions if you are confused. I am not a very good instruction giver. The best of luck

I don't know of any felt axle seal, but I replaced one of the rubber seals on mine a while back and I had to pull the axle. It's quite a process because you have to take off the wheel, axle, and the big final drive inside. And then your job is to get the seal out and the new one in without wrecking it! Good luck.
