B2150 steering shaft seal

What is the proper seal for the steering shat

Your going to need to be a little less vague if you want an answer.
There are mutiple variants of the B2150 and mutiple steering options.
Thus mutiple seal options.

2150HST fluid coming out of the top of the column. Took off the steering wheel nut, lock washer steering wheel. Pulled out the pressed in black part and then the black part inside it which made the shaft completely floppy and saw the column full hydraulic fluid. have the shop and parts manual (copied type) but dose not have good picture breakdown.

Still missing information (manual or power steering)…but you can go to Kubota USA to see illustrated parts lists and see how things are assembled

Here is the link

Kubota Tractor Corporation - Illustrated Parts List

- K-PAD - Parts Lists - Illustrated Parts Lists - diagrams

This is the illustrated parts list for power steering (but it may be different than whatever specific model of tractor you own)

Have the B2150hst with power steering. Replaced the oil seal under the cir clip. Started tractor and the fluid came spewing out. It list Kubota part 384306674 nut under the seal but don't show the nut when I look up that part. Hate to take it all apart which looks mandatory at this point. Could that nut be my problem? Thanks!

When writing Kubota part numbers do them as printed.
XXXXX-XXXXX
Your part number is missing a digit.
I think you were meaning, 38430-66740

Yes that Nut is imperative to locking in the column above it, 190 in your picture:
Now is that the reason for your leak probably not.

The seal you replace does not stop oil from getting out it stops water and debris from getting in.
The oil seals are much further down, number 70, 90, and 100 are responsible for sealing high pressure.

Thanks! That is what I was looking for. Looks like 70,90, and 100 is a major job.

Yes it is! and keep everything very clean when you do it.
