Oil & Fuel Front axle hub problem

   / Front axle hub problem #11  
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.
Is it a 1532 or similar? And, is it the hub or spindle seal?
If it is the spindle seal, then lining up the roller bearings and the vertical shaft is a little tricky. You’re trying to get 36, 37 and 45 in their respective bores and line shaft 44 and gear 33 up at the same time.

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
Well, it was in 4wd but it still doesn't go all the way up.

and you STILL have not told us model and year of tractor.
have someone rotate opposite tire while trying to seat this axle.
make sure in 2WD
you do not want to try to seat it while rotating all that mass in 4WD.

I thought I had. Went back and looked I had not. It's a 1532. Not sure if year because it's my Dad's tractor. The seal has been here 7 months and he never replaced it. It should have already been done, but here I sit scratching my head.

if I had to guess I suspect your coming up against pinion gear issues, this is where someone rotating other tire would help you. that moves the gears while allowing you to deal with axle shaft.

Does that mean I need to remove other tire and let axle pivot?

should not need to. rotating tire will rotate gears.
its an open differential, rotate tire and gears turn.
again....2WD mode. lot less mass to deal with.
