It applies to 4210/4310/4410 four-wheel-drive models and suits owners actually planning this seal job themselves.
Posted by the dg channel, an owner-operator documenting a repair on his own tractor rather than a dealer or reviewer.
Working in soupy mud that got behind the wheels and dried overnight, then ground into the seal lip as the hub rotated, opening the seal and causing leaks.
A puller with a slide hammer, a press big enough for the diameter, snap ring pliers, and a socket for the eight 10mm cap screws torqued to about 30 ft-lbs.
Low viscosity Hy-Gard transmission and hydraulic oil, not 90 weight gear oil, filled to one gallon and one quart, same fluid used in the hydrostat.
The metal ring holding the seal should sit sixty thousandths of an inch above the casing face, per John Deere specification.
