The style of seal you are referencing does not rotate against either of the housings. It is a unitized seal and the sealing element is internal. The internal rubber ring seats against the "shaft" of the upper bevel gear case and stays fixed to that case. The outer rubber ring is pressed into the...

In theory the camber or the vertical center axis of the front tire and the King pin axis should intersect near the center of the tire. This makes steering easier and correctly distributes the load on both items.

For what it's worth my brother's old Woods 72" brush hog is over 20 yrs old and it still is running with the old 45hp box ,if it is even rated that high. It has been on everything from a 8N to my Ford 4630 and it still runs fine. Just the deck is getting beat. It is not so much the tractor but...

Their rating seems to be, in their own words, "based on field testing". Not sure what that means and if the rating is endorsed by the gearbox manufacturer or Woods is making the claim independently. Either way I would opt for the heaviest gearbox I could get as long as the blade speed is the...

Looks like there are couple options, one of which is a 45hp gearbox. The other does not look as though it is much heavier.

The right front hub and assembly has to come off the axle. After that you have to remove the input seal, then the snap ring. The pinion will then come out of the axle housing. The bevel gear then comes out the axle housing through the opening left by the right side hub assembly. Download the...

Did the shop possible assemble the steering cylinder with the barrel reversed?

M30 is the size of the fastener shank/thread. That would make it 46 mm which is close to 1.5" Buy a 1.5" wrench from Harbor freight or a 18-24" adjustable. Just remember when using an adjustable wrench the fixed jaw should be positioned away from you when you are pulling it toward you or vice versa.

Unfortunately that will require a new bevel gear set. The entire differential will need to be removed, gone through and reassembled.

I played that game by mistake once in 1984. After dropping 20 gals of hyd. oil on the floor I have trained myself to make sure my circuit is complete or has a method of managing that flow LOL.

Yes flow will through the the tilt/bucket spool and operate the lift/boom circuit but backwards. If the tilt/bucket spool is shifted it will block flow completely and open a main relief if this has one. If it does not have one, well then I would say it is a game of Russian roulette.

My bet is that your supply line from the adapter block to the inlet port on the valve and the line from the PB port to the adapter block are reversed. On a PB type valve block this can cause your complaint.

I can attest that my L4310 has not seen Kubota oils since it's first oil change and then it was probably UDT or the old SUDT not the latest formulation. It has 3k hrs. and has not had an issue or faltered using Mobil 424 and TS Premium. I am not saying that Super UDT2 is not a premium product...

Sorry I mistook your quote including Rotella T6, which is a group 3, as what you are using. Also you would not need a ginned up group 3 as there are group 3 oils that meet the specs of many group 4 oils.

It is basically a group 3 base stock with a touch of group 4 PAO. Like Dan said most synthetic oils in North America are a group 3 oil with modifiers..
