Geal oil leak

[tinsley19]

I have just got my Kubota and I love it but im gonna have to spend a little to get it caught up on maintenance. I have to replace the headlight assembly, looking for a good deal, best price I found is $220. I have gear oil leaking out from the inside of both my front tires, mostly when under load, what are those seals called and is it something I can tackle myself. Never owning a tractor before I have people telling me they always leak somewhere, is there any truth to that. Any response is apprieciated .

Thanks

You didn't mention what model you have... or how many hours are on it.
The headlight assembly is pricey,don't think there are many deals to be had...

Where are you leaking, there are several posts about replacing the seals in the front ends, seems to be something that can be done with a reasonable amount of tools..

No... leaks are not normal... some are tolerated because they are minor, but most everyone will eventually repair a leak. KennyV

I agree, leaking is not "normal", but some on older tractors is not uncommon.
