I have a 2015 L3000DT that had a leaking seal on the front end. It is part #080 on the Kubota diagram that seals between the bevel gear case and the axle case (010). I purchased both of the listed seals and neither one fits. I measured them both and they looked identical to me. The seals have an inside diameter of 80mm and an outside diameter of 100mm. Unfortunately for me, my tractor bevel gear case spindle seal surface measures 83.5mm and the axle case seal surface measures 100mm. My dealer and I are getting frustrated with Kubota since they don't seem to know what part to sell me. Has anyone had this problem? If so do you have a part number for the correct seal or can you tell me how to find it?

Do you have all the old seal off ? I think you still have part of the old seal in place. Turn the housing over and post a picture of it.

Yea I bet you haven't remove the thin race that the old seal rode on.
New seals are one piece where old seals were 2 piece.
Shoot a picture of the 83.50 part and I'll point out the race.
