Gene Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 It depends on the tractor. You may have enough room to remove the yoke, pry out the old seal, and install a new one. But, Pat is right. You probably have other problems. Check it out real good. If something is wrong, fix it now or spend big bucks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Removing the whole rear end, bevel gear box and all, is not that big of a job. Disconnect the linkages, remove the driveshaft and yoke, and take out four bolts... supporting the tractor frame on something while you do that, of course. IMO, it's a lot more work to remove the "stuff" off the sides of the bevel gear box than it is to gain access to the front.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeES Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 That is one thing that I like about the 700/900 series and their Sim equivlent is how easy it is to get underneath and split the tractor. Good Luck! Mike S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 The front input shaft seal needs to be replace on my bevel gear box. Can this be done without complete removal of the gear box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatRarick Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 You must remove the gearbox to replace the seal. It has been my experience that the seal goes bad if the shaft or bearing has worn, allowing the shaft to wobble. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
