Rear Seal Replacement on my 1025R John Deere Tractor

Overview

An owner-documented DIY repair showing how to replace the front driveshaft seal on a 1025R, the small seal covering the rear post of the front drive axle. The creator walks through shaft positioning, draining fluid, removing the retaining ring and roll pin, pressing in the new seal with a pipe, and reinstalling. Practical tips on common mistakes (axle alignment, pin orientation) make this useful for owners tackling the same job themselves.

Posted by the Tony Gilkerson channel; the creator explicitly states they are not a mechanic and are sharing their own trial-and-error experience as a tractor owner.
