M9540HDC24 Drive Shaft Seal

[AllDodge]

Looking for the part number and figure for the front drive shaft seal. Have been unable to find it, and alludes me how to find it

It is shown in the ENGINE section, on the Flywheel {215000} page. Kubota has a strange sense of humor at times.

The seal is #40 in the picture you posted.

The other parts your pointing to in the front are a bearing and a E clip

Easy install too. Something I need to do to my M9 as well.

OK, thanks will have another look.
Took a look prior and appears to have 2 bolts holding the seal in from the outside, not sure that is correct. Was thinking the drive shaft would come out and then replace the seal. Might need to take a pic, but differently need to have a closer look

No the seal is on the inside, behind the clip and the bearing.
Not sure if you can get to it without splitting it.
The bolts if any would just hold the cover on.

Normally if a part will come out say the same place in this case as the bearing they show it that way, it does not appear to be the case here, it looks like it will need to be split to change it.

Caution as there are several revisions and different parts arrangement and not all will cross over.

Well the bolts are nuts so not what I was thinking. The oil is black so it has to be coming from the motor and not transmission. Need to look a little closer and maybe its the pan gasket, but the rest of the pan is not wet
