    Thanks Torch... The photos I am sure will help people out to understand the type of seal/what it should look like. Not sure why I never took a photo of the new seal.

    Hub to axle seal job complete on a 1533, Photos

    Torch... The 'speedy sleeve' is part of the seal. If you look up 5 post I show a photo of the sleeve. I should have posted to make sure you remove it before installing the new seal (I added those photos because some how they went missing from my earlier post). I added a photo to this post just...

    Did you check above your 1st post? I know they aren't showing on the 1st page but they are above. Oil type... I am not sure (tractor has been gone for many years), I just can't remember.

    Hub to axle seal job complete on a 1533, Photos

    Shaya99... I think one of two things could have happened here. Either the bearing is not seating on the axle correctly (you say it is) or the more then likely problem, you didn't remove the "2nd" piece of the seal on the axle and that is stopping the bearing from riding all the way up, (because...

    451 and 573, what do think?

    I was looking for a new tractor to replace my loved 1533 that was sold a few years ago. I was hoping for a 1643, but started looking at the Kioti DS models, if I go the route of a new compact I would have to go with the Kioti DS4110HS or DS4510HS, the 1643 is just to much. But my dealer had to...

    Comparison  DS4110HS or DK40SE or even a Massey 1643

    Hey guys... I sold my Massey 1533 some time ago (it was a good tractor) and I am starting to look at tractors again and my eye started looking at the Kioti, for a few reasons, but the warranty time got me looking that way the most. In any case my dealer is a Kioti and Massey dealer and what he...
