Installation of sure seals

• Seal Replacement

Since I'm a belt & suspenders kind of guy, I applied Zane's unconventional repair method also. I've only got about 50 hours on it since the repair, but so far so good.

To fix the leak my unconventional way you pull the axle away from the axle housing about 6 or 8 inches and wrap the axle for about 6 inches from the outer end of the axle that is exposed with teflon tape.Wipe all the oil from the housing and then take a caulking tube full of silicone glue and pump it into the void between the axle and the housing. Keep the hub as close to the housing as you can till you get the silicone pumped in.Use the whole tube and then replace the axle into the housing and replace the bolts etc. Let the silicone cure overnight and then you can go about using the tractor. Be sure that the oil in the rearend etc is not over full as this will contribute to the axle leaking.

Wipe down your axle and coat it with a bit of oil. Slide the sure seal onto the axel. The sure seal snugly fits inside your bearing holder (make sure you have it full of grease). You can press it in or carefully drive it in (this is the worst part). Just make sure you drive it in straight otherwise it may leak.
