I just gotta ask... if you think that there might be a stress crack or if there's a machining irregularity that might be a part of the seal failure problem --- why not buy a new axle shaft?

I know that Deere places a high premium on their parts --- but, what's it gonna cost $100; maybe a bit more? Your time is worth somethin' and not havin' to do it all over again in another 6 months has gotta be worth somethin' to ya'?

Never mind that if you have a catastrophic failure under power --- your cost could escalate way beyond what any of us might begin to recognize at this time!

Keep those pics comin' --- can't wait to see how it all comes together!
