Furrow irrigation...that's why I am not familiar with it. Hopefully they won't take away my CCA liscense for that one :lol:
There is a little more to it than just popping the axles off. ASSUMING a 400/450 is the same as a letter series (which they should have the same makeup to the best of my knowledge) You would have to pop the PTO out to get at the bull pinion gear and their bolts. You would then reach in and hold the bolt with your wrench while you wife spins the axle with a pipe wrench. Then you can just undo the axle housings from the frame and pull it them off. They are very heavy with the axles in them.
You may be able to jack the tractor up and feel for play without removing anything. The other thing you could do before you go nuts is pull the wheels and then the cap. The outer bearings fail long before the inners because you have to grease them. The inners get oiled from the transmission WHEN THE FLUID IS AT THE CORRECT LEVEL. That is the big problem. AND it probably wouldn't be an outer because the ball would have to get past the inner to get into the trans.
What I would do, drain the oil and see what comes out for chunks. Fish around with the magnet on a stick a little to see if you find chunks of bearing cage, etc. Flush it with a little diesel fuel to really flush out the loose chunks. Re-evaluate the situation after that.
