Great video. Thank you for sharing. So useful! Two questions come to mind. 1) I understand your point about the leverage and tire pressure relevance with duals. Do you know if this machine was possibly driven with hubs submerged by going through water too deep? OR became stuck in deep muck and pulled out a day or days later (where water intrusion became possible)? 2) Where does the ultimate seal for axle housing fluid take place: Is it inboard at the case?...or outboard at the outer seal you replaced? Thanks again for walking through the video so well. 🙂
The deal outboard I replaced is the final seal, you can submerge it without issues and no problem at all. I’ve aired tires up all the way maybe 30 psi on the inners and outers and it can cross water way easier as it’ll somewhat float
Thank you and it doesn’t necessarily go by the hours but by the lack of properly airing the tires, if the inner tires are lower pressure than the outers it’s almost like having a 1’ spacer so the force is multiplied like crazy on the bearing so it eats it up. Generally they leak but this one must of had crazy good seals because it didn’t at all
Thanks for taking the time to film this. Made my job changing the axle seal so much easier!
Great video this just broke on ours thanks a lot. Great other videos too. Subbed!
Thank you we appreciate it!

@@swrvtech Thanks! Really appreciated your thoughts, as will others. Have a good one. -Jeff
@jefffrei1167 you’re welcome!
Excellent video,ready too pickup 4520z
Thank you, they are a blast to use.
Excellent video…how many hours are on the tractor for the bearings to go?
