What’s causing this drip?

Curbsider snake oil. Designed to hide problems, made to let you sell your vehicle quick on Craigslist.

Apparently not ...

First thing to do is go through the manual and adjust the axle pivot bolt. It could have oil coming out of the front axle or it can travel down the front drive shaft tube from the seal on the transmission. Put 90 weight in all my front axles and a lot less seepage.

Look at the parts illustration in post #4.

There is no axle pivot bolt to adjust.

Check the oil level. How much oil to fill plug? Hours on the tractor? Consider changing to gear oil. Kubota mechanics recommend and I do this too.

Your tie down technique to your trailer could be improved. Some equipment manufacturers provide better attachment points than others and Kubota tractors are not on the nice list. I’ve added tie down points for this reason. The goal is tight to the trailer with shortest length possible and steep angles. Pull down, not out. Glad to see you are using ratchet binders, required by law for rubber tired vehicles transport.

Snake oil with almost a 5 star rating on Amazon, you have any idea how hard it is to get 5 stars on a product. I have used it on my front end outer knuckles 3 years ago and it's still working, if bearing are still tight the ATP AT-205 Re-Seal is a good choice, or if one likes to change seals every 300 hours that will work to.

Itç—´ not hard at all. You just pay a media company to create fake review for ya. 5-star phonies: Inside the fake Amazon review complex

Yes, finding a tie down point has always been a problem, especially when attachments are present. You would think the designer would place tie downs. I always thought using the axle was good. Apparently not. Thanks for advice.

John Deere always picked up and delivered our 6000 series, chained down to the front axle.

Any such leak, just don't forget to check oil levels periodically. Nice tractor. That would be a shame.

On your rigging if you can pull more down than out helps. I’ve chained to the front axle before because of a lack of good tie down. Welded hooks, rings and reinforced to the frame or brush guard. Not an option on all tractors.

Had leaks on many trucks and tractors that was easier to feed than fix. Even without leaks check those lube levels.

Agree ... with the exception that I was well over 1000 hours when I used it several years ago.

No leaks since and over 2200 hours now ...

Good to hear from you again You have two times mores hr then I do wonder how you managed that. I had about 800 hr 3-4 years ago when my outer knuckles started leaking 1200 now, I dont mind wet but small puddles on floor bothers me so I figured if the bearings aren't gone and it's just seals its worth a try and did the trick for me to.

You got a link to that FHTSA reg?

Yeah but I'm not a Amazon reviewer and ATP AT-205 Re-Seal worked for me. The L3400 with those stile outer knuckles and seals take a lot of abuse with constant turning, I rather have straight axle.
