5420 MFWD Hub Gear Oil Leak

Old thread, but did your fix work? Or did you need to do the inner seal? Thanks for posting.

Yes, R&R on the large o-ring did fix it. Thanks!

see if this helps -

Can you share those pictures from above again? I have a 5320 that looks very similar to the pictures that have been shared here as well. I'm hoping that all I need to replace the seal as well. I sheared a stud last week and noticed oil all on the inside of the rim. Thank you for any advice or pictures that you can provide to help me diagnose the problem.

Got it done in the shade this weekend. Really pretty easy except for wrastling the tire/wheel back on. The old o-ring did not have any obvious faults, but there was some buildup in the groove. Recall above I noted I had found the #1 screws broken last year, it was obvious the tractor had been run with the lugs nuts not properly torqued as the stud threads were banged up. After a month or two I'll update if this fixed the leak, or if I have to replace the inner seal. Thanks to all - it really does create a suction with the drain plug in. Below is a photo.

Red-from these photos, you have made this look rather easy! Any advice you can give before I tackle this on my JD5320 this weekend?
Thanks!

Redonthehead may be gray on the head by now. That's been a few years ago.
