BX2200 Front Axle Leak

[Skip G]

I haven't been to the forum in awhile, but it has always helped me in the past.
I have a BX 2200 that is seeping gear oil on the back side of the axle at the pivot point. Has anyone ever replaced the o ring and back up that sits behind the fixed head of the bolt that goes through the axle and tractor frame ? I'm certain there is no pressure in the housing and that the oil is just sloshing around in there and seeping past the seals.
I would think the parts are cheap, but not sure how to get that out of there.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think that if you post some pics it would be more helpful. And, if the BX is like my GC, the front axle will build up pressure as the oil warms up, these are sealed axles so there are no vents. But, maybe a BX owner will chime in.

Is this the pivot you are referring to (In the center)? Hope this diagram helps. It's for a BX2230, but should be the same as the 2200.

The front axle does have drain and fill bolts, so it's easy to let out the fluid.

By the way, here are the part numbers referenced in the diagram.

Skip,

What kind of oil are you using? They with super UDT I had a leak and switched to SAE 80 gear oil, stopped the leak. Others on here have had similar results.
