Had oil seal leak on front axle(left side). Took it apart, got new seal in fine. Now I can't get the back half of hub to go all the way up. It stops about 1/16" from the the seal even going on. Hopefully I wrote this clear enough someone can tell me how to get the hub to go up. Videos I have seen show they just slip back on, but this doesn't. Please help me!

Suggest you tell us what kind of tractor, 2wd or mfwd, and if mfwd exactly which seal. Pics would be good or a parts diagram

Maybe it's your username that is the problem. :ROFLMAO: I kid I kid!

I have no help, good luck!

Sounds like a 4WD hub also. Sometimes the new seals are a little snug, but you need to look at the hub boss that it is going on, it may have a small rise that the seal rides on.
Also, did you use a tool to put the new seal on? If it is the large seal, you can use the old seal as a tool, but if you don't have the tool and didn't use the old seal, you may have distorted the new seal.
Again, model, pictures, type of hub would be helpful

It's a Massey Ferguson compact tractor 4wd. Problem is not getting the seal in. Problem is getting hub back in place. This is as far as it goes.

Maybe try to rotate hub to let gears mesh?
I tried. After I turned bottom gear to mesh the splines, it slid up to this point (in picture) then it stops.

well that narrows it down....
is it or is it not A 1532?
if IS a 1532 put into 2wd make sure both fronts are off ground and try to seat axles then.
fwiw...look at my sig. I got hundreds hours on a 1532
