Hi All,
The outer bearing (#11 in the diagram) of my right front axle failed and the stub axle (#4 in the diagram) came completely out while I was driving the tractor.
The main reason for this failure was lack of lubrication. 
I may or may not have more internal damage. When I put the stub axle back in and rotate, things move freely with no unusual feelings or noises (this is wothout any load).
But my question is: How does the stub axle stay in the axle housing without again falling out? What retains it? Does the pressed bearing retain it? OR snap ring #12 in the diagram? Or something else?
