Greasing front axle pivot pin problem

[North Idaho Wolfman]

If you put in to much grease it blows the seal and fills up the torque tube.

I get a huge laugh out of the made up names of parts on here!

Labor would be about 4 hrs @ $80 per hr and with a wait time of 2 months.

To fix this properly it would take about 30 min max and wouldn't even break a sweat doing it.

Lift the front of the tractor and place jack stands on front of frame.
Remove one bolt on the propeller shaft cover (blue)
Slide cover to the rear then use drift punch to remove roll pin (yellow)
Slide the coupling to the rear and let propeller shaft hang.

Loosen the 2 bolts in pink, then remove the 4 bolts in green.
Pull back the rear holder assembly and remove it.
Put rear holder assembly on bench and drill a hole through the bearing through the grease zerk hole.
Clean out chips.
Reinstall everything, grease and done.

Let us know if you do Wolfs recommendation, my L47 has the same issue, I am contemplating between Wolf's advice and leave it. I can only imagine what those parts would cost to replace.

Fix it now, as the parts are stupid expensive if it damages it.
