1990 L2550GST DT/4Wd. The fluid was very low today in the front axle. It's done this a few times on me. I do not notice much leaking at-rest (if at all), but seems that after some solid use.. It'll be low and I will see fluid marks on the tires or down around the case.... Time to get this solved! How big of a job is this and which seals do I need?

The Questions for folks:
a) Which seals (laid out what I think below) and
b) is this a huge effort or overly complex?

also put the Kubota eng. breakdown drawing in here too.

Seals to order: For starters: I think I need the seals listed as: #60 (top) and #050 (bottom)?

One side is done.... This is a very easy operation overall. Of the multiple videos, I think this one is the easiest (for me anyway)... In this one, you do not need to remove the large wheel mount / bevel gear housing. Just the entire knucke. (but its HEAVY and I had a 22yr old to help). A great step-by-step video. I also bought the O-rings where the axle/wheey assy mounts back onto the main shaft. I also bought new bottom caps. a few bucks for piece of mind. They were in-expensive.

This Vid is the one I followed:
