Any one done a front seal replacement on a Massey Ferguson 1240 4 wheel drive?
I have attached the picture and the seal that is leaking is part #17. This looks to be a pretty simple job. 4 bolts to take the joint apart and then probably replace the bushings, and seals. Bolt back together and fill with fluid..
Any issues I might run into? Maybe reasons I should have the shop do it? I know the seal I need to replace is about $90 and the shop tells me 3 hours of labor, but they have never done this tractor.... I don't think the bottom bearing needs replacement (does not feel rough)..
Any suggestions? Is this harder than it looks?
Thanks for any help in advance!
