DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours

   / DK40 front bearing failure @ 1300 hours #81  
At about 1000 hrs. on my DK40, I'd like to inspect/ possibly replace my front wheel bearings and seals.
Any good advice or pictorials?

Why, Just put the bucket down to lift up the front end and check the wheels to see if they are loose. Spin them to make sure they feel smooth when turning. I just turned 1200 hours on my NX4510 and the front end feels fine. My loader gets used a lot.

I spoke too soon about my tractor. Now at 1259 hours on my NX4510HST I have a front wheel seeping oil slightly. The hub is tight. Looks like I will be doing the wheel seal and both bearings while it is apart. Probably a good idea to do both sides.

Plug silver oil you got issues
My weed abatement guy puts 500 miles on his kubotas every year Put in synthetic oil and lost me a lot of money
