Replacing a John Deere 410G front wheel seal on MFWD axle 

Thank you. We do have a few smaller pickups. A 350, 150, and a 1500 but otherwise yeah it’s all bigger equipment. The smaller vehicles are usually my own that I work on.

Hahaha yes I do. Its like a tailgate lol

That’s a high performance jack. You can lift like 2000 lbs more with the shiny one. 😂 my last one gave up on me just when I needed it. The piston got stuck and wouldn’t tucka tucka

Did you ever find anything? I’m in the same boat, currently need to the seal and the ujoint

I saw the inner seal at about $100 and the large o-ring was around $7-$15. I don’t have a price on the oil, it held a little over a quart. This is per side.

They were both leaking one was worse than the other so I did that one first. I didn’t change them on the same day because they needed the machine, but one was leaking pretty good. I just held onto the video until I changed the other side. The second side came apart a lot easier than the first one did though.

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic Thank you. Keep up the great work. You give me the courage to take on bigger projects. Right now I'm trying to figure out why my John Deere 35d mini excavator has one track that does not automatically revert to neutral when the control lever is released. No evidence of corrosion. I'm going to try to replace the damper assembly. This is something I wouldn't have even tried until I started watching your channel. The spool valves seem to be functioning ok. I'm not really trolling you for advice, I'm just appreciative of how you have empowered me. Thanks again. Craig

Glad I could help. A lot of what I do is the first time I’ve done it. I just don’t have the kind of job that has a lot of break downs that are out of the ordinary and I only really have the equipment That’s here and the problems that come up. I try to learn as much as I can everyday. I actually still watch a lot of people and repairs on RU-vid still. I find it to be free info and advice. It’s such a wealth of knowledge. But funny you say that My bobcat 335 did that when I first got it and for me it was the pivot pin that goes through the control lever. It just tightened up for some reason. Sometimes grease can dry out and get sticky. I used some penetrating oil and worked it back and forth and got it freed up. That’s where I would look if it’s just not returning to center. If you can definitely feel the lever is going to the center and it’s creeping it could be a oring in the valve Leaking by. Also I’m not sure of the valve without seeing it but there might be a cap on the back of the spool with a spring or two in it that returns the spool to center that could have a problem. I actually just made a video on replacing the spool valve seals on a gresen valve I’ll post Monday that might help.

No problem. Thank you for watching I appreciate it.

Spring towards the oil. Sometimes it says on the seal

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanicawesome thanks appreciate the quick reply, also did you notice the hub seemed to turn harder by hand after the new seals? Probably because the seal is new you think?

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it.

That makes sense, thank you for clearing up my confusion.

It’s AL79950. You can look up parts on this site too if you need them. partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/

The hydraulic system takes regular oil. I use the John Deere 50 plus 2 15w-40, the transmission uses I think hygaurd j20c. This is what I use. I’m not sure what the regular hydraulic fluid would do and for the price of the fluid I find it worth the peace on mind. I’ve used regular aw46 in the transmissions, axles, and hydraulic systems in a 624j loader, a cat 446b back hoe, and a 772ch grader. When in the axles the brakes started to squeak. Didn’t seem to have any issues other than that but around 6000 hours the backhoe transmission wore out the 4 gear clutch pack and started overheating and slipping. That was the fluid they used before I got there and that’s what they told me to put in them. Now I put in what the machines call for. There is a citgo product I got to replace one of the John Deere fluids I can’t remember which one but I’ll get the info for you tomorrow when I go in. I think it replaces the hygaurd for the trans axles and planetary hubs and I use regular engine oil if I’m out of the 50 plus 2.

The fluid I got is chevron 1000 thf. It is an equivalent to the hygard j20c

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic Thanks much

Are you looking for the socket size or stud size?

The nut on mine are 15/16

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic Socket. I have a 2017 410L. Can't seem to find the size. It's well over 1" socket.

Our 2014 410k has a 1 1/4 lug nut on it.

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic Cool. I'll just buy a set of 1" to 2" sockets. I hope it's not metric! LOL

Thank you.
