Lubricate Rear Axle Shafts

Service Interval: Yearly

We recommend removing the rear wheel hubs and lubricating the axle shafts yearly. This prevents the wheel hubs from seizing onto the axle shaft and makes future service easier.

1.Turn off the ignition, turn off the PTO, engage the parking brake, and block the front tires.

2.Using a jack or chain hoist positioned at the center of the rear frame, carefully jack the unit up until the rear tires are approximately 1" - 2" (2.5-5cm) off the ground.

NOTE: For overall unit stability during service, do not jack rear end higher than required for wheel removal.

3.Support the rear of the unit on jackstands positioned under the rear frame.

NOTE: Your axle assembly may differ slightly from the

assembly pictured: the quantity of washers is adjusted on a tractor by tractor basis during assembly to allow a small amount of axle end-play.

4.Remove the hardware retaining the wheel assembly to the axle and lubricate the axle shaft using anti- seize compound or lithium grease.

5.Reinstall the components in reverse order of disassembly and lower the unit. Be sure the key (A, Figure 18) is in place in the axle keyway.
