I've read (on this forum) of a few other instances of this happening. Saturday (40 degrees) I had been working - using the loader for about one hour, then started noticing the fluid streaks on the ground. The right rear axle seal had "popped out" as others have described. I was able to mostly push it back in with my hand - later towed it to my shop for further inspection. FYI - I had changed the hydro fluid about 1 year ago, using Kubota UDT. Ran the belly mower all last summer, countless other chores since the change. Tractor has 530 hours on it since I bought it new.
I suppose Green Loctite is still the recommended adhesive/sealant to reinstall the seal?
Interesting observation: it's not like most seals I had seen before, the outer body of the seal is not steel; it feels rubberized, maybe its coated - this is where the seal body mates with the case.
