790 front axle leak

   / 790 front axle leak #21  
Have found when in long grass/weeds they will sometimes wrap arund axle and push on seal causing it to leak. Carefully pick out, if the case.
 
   / 790 front axle leak #22  
I have a 2004 790 4wd with loader. 243hrs. I was bushogging yesterday and noticed gear oil leaking onto right front axle. Everything seems to be working fine otherwise. Could a seal be bad? I've read about gear problems but 4wd seams to be working fine. Any ideas? I'm almost afraid to ask.


'if its still leaking then you still got oil!' :thumbsup:

just kidding, but well...also not....that might be a harley or old chevy statement....

my 790 has a leak just the same and i'm just keeping an eye on the diff fluid until the spring when the weather gets nicer to work on it.

my neighbor's 5000 series has had a leak for lord knows how long.my point is a little gear oil goes a long way cause it has a habit of sticking around for so long...i'm no tractor expert, but i've had enough old leaky differential cases to know what to worry about and what not to worry about.

if you have the means, fix it for sure though.
