Are the front wheel bearings hard to change out? or can it be done pretty quickly. I have one side that has a slight wobble to it and is loose, could it be something else? should I go ahead and do both sides or just the one. The set-up to do one side complete is pretty pricy $80.00 per side at the jd dealer is there somewhere else I can go to get them cheeper?

Thanks Randy

If ya don't use it over a lot of acres, I'd first check to see if it just needs re-packed, and adjusted.... Then, change only the bearing that may be bad-- IF it needs it..!! Sometimes it just isent worth spending money needlessly.. on parts that may NEVER go bad...!! ( You DO re-pack them, every couple-a-years..?)?? I hope..!!!

I have only owned the tractor for one year, so this will be the first time I will get into the front end. I had alot bigger problems when I first bought the tractor, delt with those first.
Thanks for your insight, I have already ordered, the bearings for one side and seals and felts for both. I am going to repack both. How long should I
expect it to take. I farm about 35 acres with this tractor and need to get going with the soil prep and planting.

Thanks Randy

Once you have all the tools out, and have one side done, it won't take more than 1- 1 1/2 hrs to do the other side. Have a nice long "drift" to drive the races out that you want to replace... Takes longer to clean the hub and bearings than it does to do the rest...!! Pack the bearings well...!!!!! I like to leave a small preload on the bearings....Tapered bearings should not have much if any slop... Figure an afternoon, to get it all done...
