    L345DT Front Axle Leak

    First, if I offended you with my last response that was not my intent. I wanted to get more comments telling me why my thinking was wrong. Also, you have raised more questions for me. It looks like the bushing you refer to as part #37800-43890 is listed in my parts manual as #38630-4348-0 (part...

    L345DT Front Axle Leak

    I have two problems with your installation. The oil seal is longer from the center ridge to one side than the other side (see the picture).

    L345DT Front Axle Leak

    I believe i figured it out. I disassembled it this morning and measured the top pocket and the bottom pocket. Sure enough the top pocket was shallower than the top pocket.

    The oil seal is the only part I removed and installed.

    L345DT Front Axle Leak

    If that's the case, both the dealer and I have installed it upside down.

    L345DT Front Axle Leak

    Evidently my post was not accepted so here goes again. I have a bad leak in the front left axle case on my L345DT. I purchased a new Oil Seal and installed it the same as the old seal. I was concerned for two reasons; why did a seal that was recently installed by the Kubota dealer start leaking...
