Tractor 2016 XG3025
362 trouble free hours .
I saw a little axle oil on the inside of my left front rim , for most of the winter it's been
setting . i looked under the front end for a vent tube didn't see none , went and check manual
there's none only vent the axle has is the blue threaded cap on the right side on the axle , I pulled it
and looked at it . turns out it has one hole about 1/8 for a vent ,, I tried to blow some air through it
with my mouth ,, nope it was clogged up , shot a little air with a hose and it popped the top off and a rubber
seal ,, turns it it only has 1 hole for a vent , i drilled 3 holes for a total of 4 @ 90 degree's. popped the top
back in ,, hope I'm not too late and it didn't blow the seal completely out of the axle . we will see if it did blow a seal .
if it did all of that over a plastic cap with one vent hole in it ..
it's something we pretty much take for granted until crap happens .
ck your vents !!
