I'm trying to remove the front axle on my b1700 to fix the leaking pivot seal but the axle won't seperate from the bi-speed turn box. Does the bi-speed come off the tractor or can I leave it on?
The bi-speed box stays with the axle, just disconnect the actuating cable from the arm. You can remove the bi-speed gearbox from the axle after it is off the tractor.
